nothingness, a shade of grey.
what shall i do today?
i will watch the grass grow
and listen to the ants play.
ask the whales what they know
and mold a man out of clay.
change the oceans flow
and roll around in the hay.
illuminate with a golden glow
and make some sinners pay.
no...i know what is best,
it's the sabbath,
i'll just sit around and rest.

you were at my side
and i at yours.
we conquered the world and
took no prisoners.
we were slave to the other's
will and masters to the other's
heart.
we flowed.
we were one.
we loved and lived.
i gave and did everything i could.
not enough.
never enough.
i had to let you go.

i watch you tossing from a shadowed doorway.
hand by face, a silent moan, a dream forever hidden upon awaking.
drinking to quench a thirst, but never slaking.

i long to be the direction of your dreams and
wait for you at your journey's end.

i watch your breathing, from close by. i hear your heartbeat,
i feel your heat. i lay by your side pulling close to your slumbering outline
hoping that the smile on your face is of my design.

i long to be the direction of your dreams and
wait for you at your journey's end.

i watch you sleeping and wonder how your dreams progress.
a smile, silent laugh, a dream flowing towards a raging river.
emotions unchecked. pleasure filled, waking you with a shiver.

he prays that light will follow
the darkness. follow
the pain. follow.
he prays that hope will fill the hollow.
follow.
fill the empty hollow.

she looks at him so lost, so filled with sorrow.
so empty, so tragic,
'don't be so drastic'. sorrow.
tomorrow.

forever. eternal. internal. horror.
must sever. external. infernal. tomorrow.

he wakes. she sleeps.
he looks. he leaves.

she prays that light will follow
his darkness. follow
his pain. follow.

don't work, don't get paid.
try to ****** or never get laid.
if you don't run, you won't get tired.
if you **** up, you will get fired.

don't start, never get done.
you better look or you'll never get one.
if you don't wash, you won't get clean.
if you go out, you will get seen.

don't exist, never will be.
try to watch or you will never see.
if you don't eat, you never will grow.
if you learn, you will finally know.

don't love, won't get burned.
don't stray or you will get turned.
if you don't hate, you will get far.
if you don't drive, you don't need a car.

don't dance, if you don't know the move.
don't sing, if you don't have the groove.
you can't advance unless you know the man.
just act, if you already have a plan.

don't die, won't miss the end.
try not to blink or you'll miss the bend.
don't marry, if you can't handle a wife.
do not stop or you'll miss your own life.

Slow, slow and slower
I am. I am but a man
Of clay and of dirt.

Low, low and lower
I go. I go but I dream
Of clouds and rain.

Know, know I know of
My fate. My fate. My fate ends
In clay and in dirt

Lightly, brightly come
My mind leaves the trodden path
And strolls with the clouds

Flowing, growing go
Above the tree-line I float
Chasing after stars

Singing, bringing hope
Planting seeds of rain, of life
To fall back on me
