The Attic |
| I’ve been here for so long |
| That my shadow left an imprint on the wall |
| From the same place where I cast it every day until dawn |
| From the same chair, I’m writing the same song |
| And I wrote all night |
| But I erased all of it cause all of it was wrong |
| And they say that as the day is long |
| I’m honest |
| And I promised myself that I would never belong |
| To no man or place |
| Neither time nor space — |
| No case can contain me |
| Or tame me |
| I’m the one who makes it great |
| This room was dead before it let me in |
| And many men — |
| Many many many men |
| Have came and went |
| With pain and sweat |
| Looking at the sky with tired eyes |
| We’re screaming at the sun and we’re begging for time |
| Yes, I am counted among them |
| I’m one of them |
| And we all want the same thing, and that thing being — |
| That my rhymes went the hardest |
| My ideas went the farthest |
| When I die I’m not forgotten … |
| And they’ll call me an artist |
| This place giveth and it taketh away |
| I wanna stay and stay awake one more day for each and every wooden plank |
| I’ve counted them all and I call them all by name |
| Standing in the hall with wide eyes wondering when it will rain |
| And in its warm embrace I’ve forgotten the time, blind |
| Eternal yearning mindfuck of the forever thoughtless mind |
| No it’s not your calling cause it’s mine |
| To become important, a mortal giving form to the sublime |
| Amen, world without end |
| I’m trying to inspire awe and veneratioin in the hearts of many men |
| But I’m unsure where this place ends and I begin |
| And if a person could be like a place, then would that person be my friend? |
| Or does it really matter at all… |
| Whether this person makes the place or that person built the wall |
| Whether I succeed or if I fall |
| Whether I can put it into words or if I use no words at all |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
| Why is it me singing the same song? |
