Antimatter - Hope Lyrics
I was not put here by anyone in fearI came alone as meJust an idea in a long chain of discoverySurrounded by the same youSometimes your tide pulls me out to seaAnd I die in a thrashing and curseSometimes we are kindMore often, I dozeSo far up the beach that those who try to reach are burnt alive in the searing heat of the desert of my dispassionSo far removed, I never hear the water'cept once or twice a month when I see a mirrorAnd I refuse to believe in some of the things that are said to be hereLet alone those that are notI'm trying to change my directionOurs is pathetic in my own, humble, estimationI love the planetThe great benign she-wolfThe benefactorSpinning gently on towards the red giant four æons henceWhen all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flying timeShe'll leave alone to youWhen you look at meFrom your own centuryI may seem to beStrange archeologyBut when the winds blowFrom this directionYou may sense that I'mIn your reflectionI think I feel youBut I will never knowAs the swallows leaveAnd the children growI wanted to live foreverThe same as you will tooI wanted to live foreverSame as you will, tooI wanted to live forever?—And everybody knewWhen I caught you thereIn tomorrow's mirrorI thought I'd felt youJump out of my skinThrowing oil intoMy blazing memoriesFilling empty footstepsI was standing inI wanted to live foreverThe same as you will tooI wanted to live foreverAnd everybody knewWith the falling rain the northern jungleHanging droplets on the leaves bombards my brainI hear you across the roomAnd see daffodils spring into bloomYou are the mistThe frost across my window paneAnd againShe moves her bodyAnd her whispers weaveAnd the world spinsAnd tells me that I'll never want to leaveWhen I look at youFrom this dark centuryIt must always beWith generosityThat we both may shareThe hope in hearingThat we're not justSpirits disappearing
