lyrics

All by yourself,
willed into being
from a void more deep
than the sea of sleep,
from blindness into seeing.

A flower with no stem
bloomed out of thin blue air.
The hidden moon
of the afternoon
climbing Escher’s stairs.

What do you got against a guy just trying to get by?
Trying to keep a few yellow stones he can hold up to the light.
In his blue room with its blue door
on his blue bed on his blue floor.

All by yourself
in a trashcan. A diamond
in the body’s cage,
an artist of escape,
the last uncharted island.

What do you got against a guy just trying to get by?
Trying to keep a few yellow stones he can hold up to the light.
In his blue room with its blue door
on his blue bed on his blue floor.
