Surely

some of

this

crazy

drunk

guy

 

as you

hear me

coming

apart at

seams

 

don’t have

foggi-

est

idea

 

don’t

know

or

why

 

don’t

have

damn clue

to what

i’m doin

with

 

all

words

 

bein

not so far

stood

standing

in front of

crowd sharing

more than just

my name

 

walkin

through

flames

 

makin

no eye

con-

tact

 

its

still

 

so

strange

 

seeing

me this

way

 

who

can

see

 

fig-

ment

of my

imagin-

ation

 

who

can

see

 

pass

con-

fusion

eyes

wide

o-

pen

 

but

they

couldn’t

see

 

found

door

to-

other

side

 

couldn’t

find

key

 

sud-

denly

was

 

shook wide

a-

wake

 

by

the

sound

 

of my

voice

 

screa-

ming

had

seen

my-

self

 

sear-

Step-

ping

out

 

in-

to

my

own

 

pickin

up

 

scat-

tered

pieces

by

 

my-

self

 

but

not

 

a-

lone

 

there’s

no cure

for this

dis-

ease

so

please

 

pray

for

me

 

don’t shed

any tears

 

or

worry

about

days

 

daring

my-

self

 

to

own

words

 

so you

can feel what

i’m tryin ta say

 

like

flock

in sky

 

all

to-

gether

me

my-

self

 

with

constellations

filled with stars

 

waiting for

another

 

standing-

ovation

sensation

only

to

be

felt

 

once

we have

no hands

May be an image of horizon, cloud and twilight

 

who

can sit

quietly

 

glan-

cing

back

at

not

a-

thing

 

be

happy

with what

eyes see

 

is it

only me

an-

tici-

pating

things

ta come

 

i’m

tryin ta

fly a

way

ing

in-

to

starin

back at

me

 

bein

off

how

many

times
