Oh I know the dance Called life It has a nice beat And I move my feet To the rhythm
A cool breeze enters the forest ca… leaves are already falling and arr… in a circle beneath Keeping warm the smallest root Cupping the morning dew
I had it under control Deep deep in my darkness Dwelled a monster purest black That made my life a mess I escaped I thought

Hope is elusive Slipping away so easily Just when you have it And that secure feeling warms A bit of the frost so common now
If I were a twisted cloud I would have the wind to blame For the awful shape I’m in But being not of vapor made wispy and spread across the sky

The quiet of being me I need no bombast No crowds of adoring people Only the quiet of me Listening to the voice that whispe…
There is no capture for my words no pen or paper here inside me
The cheer of the crowd Loud… reaching low lying clouds Shaking the angels From their soft sleep Attention now drawn
Thank you for waking me From my slumber I do not live without you I must be read To be alive
Conspiracy They plot away In some secret mountain retreat Nestled in the Swiss Alps A chalet tended by deaf servants
