Dawn crept through the blanket of the sky
Asleep on a grassy knoll it caught my eye
A voice cried out
And it said to me
You better start walking boy
You're already as late as you can be
So I jumped up
On my feet
And I cried
And I faced my maker that day
It can't be denied
I said hey father - don't you think that maybe you lied
I've only got one thing to do
And that's to die
And it can't be denied
I said I don't have to learn how to walk
I said I don't have to learn how to talk
All I've got to do
Is die
And it can't be denied
You don't have to play
By society's rules
You don't have to go out
And mix with the fools
All you've got to do
Is die
And it can't be denied
It started the day I was born
Through a mirror she passed like a shadow
Watching each life bend, flash into nothing
And I wonder which direction
She would go
Can't you see
What you're headed for
Turn around, walk away,
Run back for more
Life is free but you
Got to take a look around
From a desert she cries for an ocean
Watching her savior there
Rise in the moonlight
And she thirsts for the affection
He would show
Got to come down off that dream
Things aren't always what they seem
It's only you you're using to create that illusion
There's a story without any ending
There's a friend of mine that needs mending
But I don't even, know I don't
I remember pain
Falling, dancing window pane
I remember rain
Beating on the cobblestone
Splashing truth and wisdom
Where none is known
I remember phases
Of cold upon the wind
Passing down
Panes and the doorways
Of when I smiled at you
I remember love grown cold and fade away
Nothing but the rain to cool me
Nothing but my life to school me
Nothing but the sun to warm me
Nothing but the stars to guide me
You're so kind to hide me now
