And today is another day
That I wish for some absolute calm
What’s the poison that I must take
To kill away this useless clamor
I strive to be anechoic
But even walking shakes the ground
Or looking to my left or right
As people pass in glamour
So I sit here and try to forget
About useless words and phrases
About loneliness or passion
In spite of all their warnings
I’ll fly away one day
Beyond any comprehension
And cease to want to land
In a pale blue sunlit morning
Run away child there’s only fire behind
Run away and let the other ones know
Run away child from this world of death and hate
Take me with you as you escape
Just run away
And they think they’ve got it
As they call for help all day long
But the door is right here so shall we
Or is the tempting just too much
It’s more than half way back now
So lets just plunge in my friend
Won’t you sing this with me now
Or live like lovers and such
Or is that too much to ask
To be able to do or say
Can people just let me love you
And can people just let me spin
Or does everything have to move
Forward being the preferred direction
But what they don’t know is that
Forward progress is really just falling in
