I Am

My fingers are grass

My tongue the asp

My town a burial mound

My eyes are jewels

My ears hear tools

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

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

am a waterfall

come tumbling

tumbling

tumbling down

Into infinity

journey to the sea

rain through leaves and trees

On beggars and thieves

On fools that grieve

But I am

I am

I am

stand at my window

Wind and moonlight

Fire my hair

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

am only me

My eyes are shallow

My ears hollow

am only me

My feet are still

I'm unfulfilled

am only me

My head's a bed

It feels like lead

My mind's totally free

must sleep

am

must sleep

am

must sleep

am

must sleep to dream

am
