Soundless words being said around me
And people racing towards some unknown goal
Day by day… their energy depleted
Hour by hour, my mind falls further into my soul
They seem so serious
They seem so stern
I would almost laugh if I could-
The sight of people who never learn
The sight of people who want to steal the sun
They don’t understand
They don’t see what’s true,
They only care what’s in their hand
They never wonder why the sky is blue
Why does the rain fall from such a blue
Why does it pour as there’s nothing I can do
… there’s nothing I can do
Right… somehow I’ve forgotten
Of what shadows and monsters are rotten;
Far unreal and obscene
Desperate flowers, too far to the sunshine they lean
They don’t see how the sun will melt their wings
It doesn’t last… it doesn’t last
And stealing only shows how the sword swings,
But never how the wind can steal a mast
Stealing it somewhere too far to be seen;
Somewhere startlingly beguiling and serene
While off in the ocean a ship runs astray-
Facing the storm without guidance or way
Yet these people- every last one
Steal and steal until they can’t see the sun
Taking but dust, wondering what’s lacking,
As their foundations continue cracking
They still don’t see what really is true
They long for attention… as my world turns to blue
