lyrics

The girls that I was mad for never loved me back
The ideas that would thrill me
The world just thought were wack

The dreams I held so dearly – No one ever shared
The passions felt so deeply had people running scared

I used to be so busy making sight and sound
Trying to prove how right I was but no one came around

No one was convinced with what I had to say
But I was not discouraged til 1pm today

I realized that this planet earth
Is not where I belong
My messages are useless here
No ears will hear my song

So now my heart stays with me - Now I save my breath
Now I sit and meditate – meditate on death

Nothing gets me out of bed – Nothing left to prove
I know I don’t belong here – I hardly ever more

The past even the future- Don’t make any sense
The only mattered moment – is this here present tense
