transmit me from here to there
let me see your hopes and fears
burning away in the coming years

I know you're around me
we've just got to see
how long I can wait beneath the trembling trees

when will I know you
I need to see how it ends
the vision's still blurry, a fog on the lens

there's always an 'or something.'
a way to avoid expressing what you want,
an escape at the end of your stagnating thoughts.
a break in the line, the passing of time
until you know what to say again.

find me where you've looked before,
curving round the corner for more.
look behind the hidden skies,
the clouds will hide what you have to shine.

look out below the snow and the show,
the curtain is blocking the wind

stay outside the ring as the marauder sings,
stay here to see who will win

my legs are like bricks
glued together sticks
with elephant ears to boot

I still forget
that my mind hasn't left
the zoo or inside of this room

swallow the sun
before you look at the one
who will take your words away

that way you'll still shine
line after line
through all the glances you'll stay

what have i done in my life yet today?
nothing worth remembering she thought,
as her thoughts went astray

reminisced of old friends,
of lost wishes and loves
the feeling she’d find running loose in her mind

she saw those surrounding
their pain and their hope
with the love that they had at the end of their rope

is it all over now?
she’d ask herself more
to find empty replies, still yearning for more
