I Am

Lyrics

My fingers are grass My tongue the asp My town a burial mound My eyes are jewels My ears hear fools And I put them down My feet are wings My body sings Without a sound Eyes of blind ignorance See a world of despair Mountains of man Hide cities too deep Cool dark graves where bodies creep My nose is sharp It cuts the glass And then I escape My back is flat Off the beaten track I Am a landscape My body and spine They intertwine I am a raging snake I am at peace The feeling's neat Then suddenly I awake Eyes of blind ignorance See a world of despair Mountains of man Hide cities too deep Cool dark graves where bodies creep I am a waterfall I come tumbling (Tumbling) Tumbling (Tumbling) Down into infinity Down in journey to the sea Down, I rain on leaves and trees On beggars and thieves I am, I am, I am, I am I stand at my window Wind and moonlight Fire my hair I touch the glass It can't be seen But it's always there I'm told I'm free And I believe Four walls imprison me Eyes of blind ignorance See a world of despair Mountains of man Hide cities too deep Cool dark graves where bodies creep My fingers are numb My tongue is blunt I am only me My eyes are shallow My ears hollow I am only me My feet are still I'm unfulfilled I'm only me My head's a bed It feels like lead My mind is totally free I must sleep (I) I must sleep (Am) I must sleep (A waterfall) I must sleep I must sleep (I) I must sleep (Am) I must sleep (A waterfall) Sleep, sleep Sleep, sleep
