we build a world
no its, we built a world
free to breathe, to eat, love
and live, just live
impetus for progress, you say
we automated that too
a life anyone could master
Dreams or Dust
we build a world
no its, we built a world
free to breathe, to eat, love
and live, just live
impetus for progress, you say
we automated that too
a life anyone could master
shocking, I know shocking,
even with the best of cameras,
the cadaver is rotting though,
and the stench is unbelievable,
beyond the mask really
suddenly a question occurs
like a fresh summer breeze
who was he, when he breathed
its best to rid ourselves
of the thieves and liars
slap shiny little metallics
onto our murderers
and hop skip around
the maypole, from the smell of him!
we're probably best rid
of his descendants
after all, earth is full
the rays of the sun
they do not reach in time
they hop, they turn, they take
a day a month a season a year
a lifetime
but as long as we have mapped
every step, every stop, every angle every wait
and kept our eyes open
ready on the very end
of magic and forever
they will reach our hearts
all we need is faith
and insurance
forgiveness? healing?
what does that look like?
well hello look whose
voice just returned
in a faint surprised cry
that echoed in the louvre
up top on the burj
blinding and beautiful
bustling and alive
these walls are made
of a million dots
of those whose lives
they took
these walls are now
the owners of souls
the given, the taken
in a thousand years
if these walls could talk
or listen, or cry
or flower or fruit
or be anything but
a roof for dreams
of new walls, new roofs
tell me when
you're ready to tear
your soul off these walls
stand naked and hungry
on the coldest night
the hottest day
and wait for a new generation
to be born
under a tree, in a cave
to believe and believe
in the hamster
or the seer
for belief within
the velvet soul cage
it kinda is
