I Must Go Away

Contributed by Lee on Wednesday, 29th December 2004 @ 01:26:30 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

Erin Drackelson:

I'm just a young man
Lost in this assembly
Of sinking sand
Now I'm broken up
By this world
Deceived by sons
Who flew too close to the Sun
Now they're men burnt
By their own ambitions
I must go away from it all
This world cannot be so small
I want to leave
They will find
It is they who
Have been deceived
I don't want to be lost
When the lights finally turn out
Like a moth without a flame
My sanity, is it plain?
My vanity, is it sane?
If I'm sane, then maybe
Just maybe
The world can carry on
Without pain
I think I know
Where to go
Temple of silence
Surrounded by snow
I'll meditate I'll concentrate
My mind on releasing my fears
That have been inside me for many years

World leaders:

Are you a boy?
Are you a man?
When will you understand?
Your bones will be dust
And your dreams will be sand
Soon even your thoughts will be scanned
Will see if you're a boy
Or if you're a man

Erin Drackelson:

Are you world leaders?
Or peace defeaters?
That's all I've got to say
Are you world leaders?
Or are you truth depleters?
Just trying to swing the votes your way
I must go, must go away
I must go away from it all
Where the trees are tall
And the air pollution's small
To a town filled with friendly faces
It's one of the down-to-earth places
I'm going to go to the no-frown town
Where they walk gently on the streets downtown
Where I might find that love of mine
Who I have tried, tried to find
Sleepwalking!

"Your bones will be dust
And your dreams will be sand" very good
