Do you consider all men to be theives,
For any precious concept, without mind?
If denied consant motion, who percieves
The lowly, lonely state of life confined?
Few hopeful moments in that place exist
Like waves, and children hidden in the crowd
Who among the men would not resist
The urge to swim, or even laugh aloud
But, you pretend the world is in its place.
With such flawless logic, who can contend?
Watch the devil hide the smile on his face
When like minds force the other half to bend
Please, pretend to regard me just as strong
When I inherit thoughts just to belong.
blue thunder would light up the sky
our tiny room would shake
and i would feel so temporary
as if i could be blown away any second
but you would hold me in your arms
you were so firmly rooted in the earth
i knew i couldn’t go anywhere, tied to you this way
but sometimes, on quiet nights, i longed for the wind
Once I tried to read everyone’s philosophies
But words, they’re all the same and I didn’t learn anything
And people are recycled
But at least we’re saving the planet
Once I rode the elevator
When it stopped I spilled my drink
The scientists laughed but I didn’t even want to be on this floor
I want a different level
I want to give all my money away to musicians on the subway
But is all the money worth the pain in my toes?
If someone jumped into the train tracks I wouldn’t go to work
And everyone would stop too, and go home
Because people are important when they aren’t alive
No, french man, no one on this train is on vacation
Just because they are not wearing fancy clothes
Searching the streets for a lit cigarette
If only I had a match
Or even the possibility of a flame,
What wasted potential enegry
Such vocabularies don’t regeret
Give me fire, give me fire!
Or I will lose the promises I’ve kept
Of course I cannot pay you for the heat,
I scout the streets for burning plants!
We just sleep, at least, i just sleep
I’ve slept for days, for months, for years!
But, we’re so alert, I do not want to drink your coffee any longer
Why do I wake up surrounded by concrete?
