I Am |
My fingers are grass |
My tongue the asp |
My town a burial mound |
My eyes are jewels |
My ears hear fools |
And I put them down |
My feet are wings |
My body sings |
Without a sound |
Eyes of blind ignorance |
See a world of despair |
Mountains of man |
Hide cities too deep |
Cool dark graves where bodies creep |
My nose is sharp |
It cuts the glass |
And then I escape |
My back is flat |
Off the beaten track |
Am a landscape |
My body and spine |
They intertwine |
I am a raging snake |
I am at peace |
The feeling’s neat |
Then suddenly I awake |
Eyes of blind ignorance |
See a world of despair |
Mountains of man |
Hide cities too deep |
Cool dark graves where bodies creep |
I am a waterfall |
I come tumbling |
(Tumbling) |
Tumbling |
(Tumbling) |
Down into infinity |
Down in journey to the sea |
Down, I rain on leaves and trees |
On beggars and thieves |
I am, I am, I am, I am |
I stand at my window |
Wind and moonlight |
Fire my hair |
I touch the glass |
It can’t be seen |
But it’s always there |
I’m told I’m free |
And I believe |
Four walls imprison me |
Eyes of blind ignorance |
See a world of despair |
Mountains of man |
Hide cities too deep |
Cool dark graves where bodies creep |
My fingers are numb |
My tongue is blunt |
I am only me |
My eyes are shallow |
My ears hollow |
I am only me |
My feet are still |
I’m unfulfilled |
I am only me |
My head’s a bed |
It feels like lead |
My mind is totally free |
I must sleep |
I must sleep |
I must sleep |
(A waterfall) |
I must sleep |
I must sleep |
I must sleep |
I must sleep |
(A waterfall) |
Sleep, sleep |
Sleep, sleep |
