My threadbare horizon, I desire To be as the world Well-rounded, never ending I want to stretch to the farthest sea Where my dreams are hurled There my self, extending My head is throbbing From behind I want to burn these words Into your mind So they may not be hard to find I want to rewrite your mind But then again who am I? I’m nobody it’s said I’d like to fill your head I’m nobody I’m dead Who am I? I’m nobody it’s said I stretch to be read I’m nobody I’m dead I’d like to fill your head Who am I? I search for wings to shed I’m nobody it’s said I stretch to be read I’d like to fill your head I’m nobody I’m dead Who am I? I’m nobody I’m dread I must be somebody instead You’ve allowed me to fill your head I’m nobody I’m dead That’s what somebody said I search for wings to shed How can a nobody who shed his wings ever find himself When the fading signs all point to the sun Where my horizon burns in my searing eyes Not until the shades of the day is done I’m fishing in the sea of countless horizons I caught a red herring and threw it right back I gathered my dreams as bait on my hook So that tomorrow I may fill my sack Somebody told me I have sure-fire potential Talking to yourself is a certain credential [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 03-02-2001).] |
