Pieces Of Place
What is this battle I must fight every night? What is this force eating up the air? While the day takes me and whirls me about Carries me on its shoulders And drags me on the ground Where's the ethereal enigma? Bliss and starry night Looking at me I only see The ceiling floor walls and the drive That keeps on through the doors and windows How can we leave this place and still live on? Come away, go hither See the molecules And the great big air all around Step in the water and your foot goes through Pick it up, and throw it around Might as well, it's got you surrounded I just keep walking through time One foot after the other Stepping on space One thought after another Made up of new things And things I knew before Or combinations of these And I know the ages Break a different shell SongtexteAnd the new comes forth from the old And vice versa And I love and I live And I take and I give But mainly I just keep walking through time Stepping on pieces of place With my body and my mind Oh God they say they know where they're going I'm trying to be honest And I know it all leads to attempted perfection Am I falling short and knowing it? Or on the only track and going long? I wish I could say that I know more than I do Aus Songtexte Mania
