In Dreams

Always a riddle in the world, she said
Always a riddle inside my head
Always a thing of wonder, the way we come to be
Oh, it's a big old place for me, yeah, it's a big old world indeed
Everyone is killing me and everything conspires

Mm, in dreams, I have watched it spin
Seen a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in
Mm, in dreams, I have lain in sin just to be the cracked and the cared for

How can I ask, ask for more?

Always a riddle in the world, she says
Always a riddle inside my head
Always a thing of wonder, the way we come to be
Oh, it's a big old place for me, yeah, it's a big old world indeed
Kicking my heels and wondering how I've been here so long

Mm, in dreams, I have watched it spin
Seen a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in
Mm, in dreams I saw Aesop's kin
Just a carcass of a man, all alone inside his skin

Where to, where to begin?

I live alone

I live alone in life without you here
Mm, I may be troubled, but I'm gracious in defeat
Oh, I may be troubled, but I'm gracious in defeat
