I was thinking about sinking, but it really didn't get me very far. So I thought I'd throw a tarot, but I only got the priestess and the star. There's a shadow cast on my future past, the room and I agree to find some time. I don't have to throw lies, for all the options are just lies. The furniture in the black room. I've been thinking about acid, but it seems there's not a reason to believe. I don't make a vital breakthrough, and it walks me like a dog upon a leash. It's all unreal, and the way I feel, I'd like to try and make it on my own. I don't have to throw lies, for the feeling is right. I'm really happy I've got pleasure too. But deep in my mind, I'm no better, I'm just an old man to the wall. Feels in the black of my soul. I'm only talking about myself, I'm only talking about myself. I'm only talking about myself, and ordering my treasure shelf. Documenting certain feelings, as the future sets me reeling. What I'll be is what I am, I'm simply trying not to sham or fame. Fusion and center, not a squad, it doesn't matter all that much. I've only tried not to fall my life, I've only tried not to fall my life. I'm only talking about myself, I'm only talking about myself. I'm only talking about myself, and ordering my treasure shelf. Documenting certain feelings, as the future sets me reeling. What I'll be is what I am, I'm simply trying not to fall my life. I've only tried not to fall my life, I've only tried not to fall my life. I'm only talking about myself, I'm only talking about myself. I'm only talking about myself, and ordering my treasure shelf. When I may be holding straight lace, shall I then deny all that I feel? In words of bitter compromise, resmelt the wrath that's in my eyes like steel. I'll be a hobbit then! I'll be a fighter! Be a man who hasn't managed yet to right his wrongs. A fool! The future holds my hand in the wrong. I'm only talking about myself, I'm only talking about myself. I'm only talking about myself, and ordering my treasure shelf. Documenting certain feelings, as the future sets me reeling. What I'll be is what I am, I'm simply trying not to fall my life. I've only tried not to fall my life. I'm only talking about myself, I'm only talking about myself. I'm only talking about myself, I'm only talking about myself. Try not to fall your life Now that my ghost has turned down through the years And lay a hand upon my soul Like ice So, on to the familiar top steps In cloud-scarred moonlight clothes Tower rails And I, the blind man, feeling for a path I know Don't you know that I'm only feeling for how to feel How to feel How to feel Rampart Rampart Space clown Farmers stare out at the whispering light Rampart on their arms Light up But first Children whimper in the human vortex Faces glow of words Rampart Silence Oh, mans, I think it's coming All signs are very near All signs are that Pain shall stop And change shall run Down through my heart And shake my knees And now It is coming All around Is the humming of the world All too late With my balance gone Dead-eyed doll I'm falling Falling back To where I began I'm feeling like a kid again I'm feeling like I just walked in the door With my head on fire I wrote this song I don't know it But And so fast in camera I swear I heard the camera exclaim I am a traveler, a traveler I'm only a girl Pain and shame and change In my room The secret tomb I can see Future forms The time's gone There are only And I've only got to choose In my head I am dead If I fall In the trap And so fast And so painful But I'm living while I choose applause
