Into the Everflow
Album - 1992 - Debaser id 82225

my spirit takes a journey through my mind
in through the endless coloured waves
the shaded patterns moving through these places
fan across the faces of my memory

out of sight not out of mind

intellactuality is holding nothing left for me on this flight
the spaces of the time before
leave the logic at the door of reality

out of sight not out of mind

rain of the summer fills the hand
a snow white turtle on a stained glass land
lie overturned, legs that kick and claw
cannot bite into the wall

this vision paling slowly now into the tunneling liquid space
inside this microdot daydream
i seek an understanding of my life in this place

out of sight not out of mind

i climb up to the mountain
just to share my point of view
of life, the universe and everything
i'll take you to the fountain
just to have a drink with you
a slow and everlasting dream

and if we are here just to ease god's sorrow
lord come to me and i'll ease your mind
come to me cause i know it's my only way out of this place
and i know it will come in time
don't take me away too soon
but please don't be late for me

and he dipped his head into the existential void
where he called into the wall of silent empty ears
among the sea of tangled mouths gnashing
singing their hideous shrieking smile
a hard flowing river of hellos he could not wade against
he could not wade against them

tortured tongues feast their frenzy
they hiss out all that is nothing
the night time of the hearing flower
has put aside the laugh dancing flame
no longer warming the wings
of their fluttering dust angel mistress
the petals have closed for this long night
their brittle limbs are thinning

their meek and weeping gesture fares their well
to the falling paper blossoms
one by one, down into the everflow
one by one, drown into the overflow
gliding through the emptiness
flying through the emptiness

i feel again i'm coming home
to find the peace i feel alone
my television friends have gone
now i can take my time to talk about them

they're nice to me, they smile to me
they are what they'd like me to be
i let them keep my company
and i don't even care what they're selling
they're only selling

look into these little boxes
bluer weather, greener grass
everyone has lots of money
everyone's in style

little people, little houses
happy living little lives
when they wake up with perfect makeup
it makes me sick

don't need a life of my own, you know i'm so satisfied
deep in the screen they have made me believe
i'm so pacified
they keep me asleep with each day they repeat
this life they pretend to me

i took my television, unplugged it from the wall
tiny people crawling as i broke it on the floor
i put them in my pockets, took them where they can't be found
then i held them in my hands
then i made them do really bad things

now i'm afraid to be at home
because i fear i'm not alone
my television friends have grown
now i'm afraid of what they might be selling
what are they selling

riding on an endless carousel of wishes, hopes and dreams
and it seems that i loose more than i gain
all the same i remain hanging on a string
is it wrong
will it save me from the fall
or will it just be broken by the wind
as it spins
all i save seems to just get taken all away

well it seems like life is just a game of faith
no mistake
always try to give more than you take
always try to make a little more
out of nothing, if not less
always better than your best

as you try
will you fly
will you sail through the sky
and leave it all behind with yesterday
will you say i have faith
and that's one thing they'll never take away

if i had a chance, lord one more chance to try
i would start again, nothing to pretend
without a lie

i would try
i would fly
i would sail through the sky
and leave the misery with yesterday
and i'll say i have faith
and that's one thing they'll never take away
