1000 Different Books

Stealing all the years
Not gaining time
Hold the moment standing still
Under a stranger sky
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Rolling back the mind
Let reason slide
Buildings raised on shifting sands
Commence a slow decline
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Guided now by instinct
Negotiate disguise
The pedigrees are mongrels, eagles rooks
A book read by a thousand people is a thousand different books
Seeing through new eyes
What’s left to know?
Bound by logic’s ordered line
Pulled by the undertow
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
The painting has more layers
X-rayed and peeled away
The camera blurred the picture when it shook
A book read by a thousand people is a thousand different books
Pass these memories on
These things survive
A forest turning into words
Or falling to the fire
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
Cry into the future
The path of least resistance
Delegate the ride
Set free from all reality’s cruel hooks
A book read by a thousand people is a thousand different books
A book read by a thousand people is a thousand different books
