Risen from the morsels, shaken from the ground
That left me planted
And whispered the profound understanding
Of growing seeds and empty pockets
We don’t believe the visions of intention
You slip away on rising smoke
Our bodies decay and view the distance
To which your face belongs
And fades amongst the wishes
You can’t be touched
A train moves through sun-brown and transpires
I read the signs, I see the vision, so far away
You can’t be touched, and I don’t want to
I got myself into this state to connect
But the songs you’re singing
And the boy tying up your hair
It can't go on, not in this place
Remove me and let me return.
In a café that fuels the inversion
On paths where sun-glassed pupils search
You make coffee and joke with friends
I think you saw me, under lines of
separation
Disappeared and underfed
Do you know what I’ve been looking for?
Do you know that the game is coming to an end?
I took the first steps into something new
I stood on stage and performed for you
I slept through devastation, in a golden tent
In dreams that can’t be meant
Confusion strewn over misgiving
The path wanders and leads to a satisfied bench
And the half-glance seeming recognition
Were you in that crowd of sympathy?
The words couldn’t come from my mouth
I move to my own, the sun pours on a couch
There’s children dancing, and we talk of something else
A hundred people move through the country
Bikes and tents and spoons hanging from a string
To a train overflowing, take me back to Berlin.
