I met a man, an old man in a park
talking about his work with more than 1000 animals
about the empathy he felt for everyone
his spirit, his words, freely flowing,
his uncontrolled behaviour scared me so
but made me feel jealous and sore
he made me feel so alone
I envy you your freedom, Mr.Unknown Man
I envy the way you’re talking freely to yourself
and how you paint the sounds and visions in your head
it all sounds wiser than all those lessons learned at school
are we all deceived fools?
you’re beautiful and I'm drawn to you
True stories have not died
I feel tempted to tell you mine
I wanna share the secrets of our life
in a castle built of words so honest
and adventures that force my eyes to stay open wide
and look around and just feel and just breathe everything
until I hide again at home
behind my selfish pain
at home
we live like this, sheltered, protected
we’re easily emotionally blackmailed
yea, we live like this, falsely connected
bored and scared, passion ejected
but..
True stories have not died
I feel tempted to tell you mine
I wanna share the secrets of our lives
in a castle built of words so honest
and adventures that force my mind to stay open wide
and look around and just feel and just breathe everything
until I hide again at home
behind my selfish pain
at home
