Will Not Bring Us Together

"I am what I am and I am what I plan

And the world that has gathered around me

It seems quite grand

In this world of motion mining

I lay back on my fists

But then I reach around your long black gown

And grap your supple wrists

The entrance to the cavern is just below my bed

And the dust that has been gathered

And the fur that has been shed

I reach far back into empty black space

Hoping my fingertips will catch a small trace

Of the things that have been gathered there for years

But the letters that you sent me

And the cards that you signed

And the napkins and the flatware

And the plates of china fine

Or the gumballs or the games, the glasses or the meals

The pictures, the frames, the use of your wheels

The candy, the drinks and all of your friends

Will not bring us together again

And I guess that I'm sure that I think that I'm fine

And I think I'm pretty happy putting our life behind

But the images are strong and physical in my room

Makes me filter out the tie-down, the frustration

And the gloom

And I know that now it's an impossible thing

But sever the bond and your freedom will ring

I am what I am and I am what I plan

And the world that has gathered around me

It seems quite grand

In this world of motion mining

I lay back on my fists

But then I reach around your long black gown

And grap your supple wrists

The entrance to the cavern is just below my bed

And the dust that has been gathered

And the fur that has been shed

I reach far back into empty black space

Hoping my fingertips will catch a small trace

Of the things that have been gathered there for years

But the letters that you sent me

And the cards that you signed

And the napkins and the flatware

And the plates of china fine

Or the gumballs or the games, the glasses or the meals

The pictures, the frames, the use of your wheels

The candy, the drinks and all of your friends

Will not bring us together

The candy, the drinks and all of your friends

Will not bring us together

The candy, the drinks and all of your friends

Will not bring us together again"
