Absent Minded
The slider and this complicated world
It's like we were both
dealt the same hand
in a different world
which we know is the same
revolving around a twst
of purity and the soul
How you lpayed yours out
How i played mine out
We were dealt the exact same hand
the same tests
same deck
same actors
same scripts
but what we did was different
As yopu watch me
from your space ship
all blue eyed
and dark haired handsome
are you still my good guy?
what will you do?
when thid enchanted world deals you
the same hand I've been dealt
and you try to beat me
try to play this game strategically....
Or do i stack the deck for you?
So that no one goes through
what I've gone through?
My every action
sends out waves
poems
political actions
debates
poems
and songs
who wears what color
will yours?
my every thought
a commotion
my every day dream
something else
they all harp upon subtly
like im lost in never never land
losing and regaining control
are there any rules?
And when you land
you are my shadow
one way or another
given ythe exact same hand as me
like a complicated card game
this world is
stacked against you
I am a slider
from a different time
adifferent planet
who knows every dream
every nightmare
every aspiration
really did hgappen
for we are immortal
it just doesnt look that way
all those night terrors are true
all thos times we flew around the world
we did
all those times we dreampt of other worlds we were ther
and those who dont dream
i guess they are new unfortunate souls
You lost me
in a world of robots
and streets
that never end
put me in this matrix of mazes
and ultimatums
that make no sense
as i dream of those other placves
i have been
where i am from
I am a slider
I have been here longer
then i care to remember
but i never forget your face
but like never never land
they fill my head
with an abusive you
Is this true?
was it true?
Space ace!
They will deal you
the exact same hand
either break away
and leave your best friend
and probably your only friend
lost forever on this everlasing planet
that toys with my thoughts
and echoes my head
until i cave in and become it
Now I'm trapped
in a world
spirralling out of my mind
being fought
strengthening chains of change
waiting for you
to come down smiling
and remember
whatever
they're trying to make me forget!
Is this world a prison?
Is this world the beast
and I'm like a token so you get another turn at your game?
is this world a masterpeace of your creation or someone elses
you know the truth of
and we never learn
Is this world yyours?
Is this world mine?
is this world hers?
is this world ours?
You are there
I see you
hovering in your spaceship
dark hair and blue eyes
square lips
and jaw
handsome
from cities of gold
landed here once and tricked
changed forever
we got away once
Now she's not the doctor
I remember you
I don't remember me
I remember
looking at this world
this place through mysterious memory
Did she drive you crazy?
did you drive her crazy?
are you fighting amongst yourselves?
only to realise
you were fighting over me
the insanity of everything
Well welcome to the crimescene
some dreams of spaceships
and other planets
and now a world
that reads my mind
and twist me over
poisons my dreams of truth and throws me away and calls them holidays
Maybe we are the gods
and this is a highe powers matrix to say get along or die
maybe i'm the bigger victom here
and thats the only reason i'm still alive
A space ship
and you space ace
handsome lover i wished for
dreamed into life
you want to fall
but they'll deal you a stacked hand
and place a ghost in the ships halls
I remember leaving
I remember being welcomed back
the second time we returned
I remember escaping this
together
and we got away
and thought
there was a lost soul
stuck waiting for us
to figure it all out
the layers
the puzzles the methods to the madness
how it all worked
and we did
so we're here
with this plan
I'm not soo sure about
in a world echoing our thoughts in subtle yet obvious ways
and playing us against eachother
am I the only one who never gets what he wants
and deserve endless punishment?
through truths and delusions
stacked actors
poisoned intentions and suspicions
Have you figured anything out at all?
Have you found the third party?
or have i developed a split personality yet in this matrix of sounds
and dead ends and mazes and contradictions?
I remember becoming a part of it
I rtemember breaking the cycle
I remember planning everything
I remember seperating ourselves from eachother
to keep secrets
you never told me soo much
but we knew there was a ghost on the ship
And when we leave
does it reset like a game?
or do we leave permanent marks
that never erase?
I remember looking back
at this world
through our spaceship
And then I knew
something was wrong
One of them
one of the invisibles
had slid onto our ship
they or it or whatever was with us
you weren't like you
or was it?
they followed us,
or you had changed in space
Now i think you're one of them
an obsessive part of the matrix here
and you will never get away
and if we do
i'll live your space sickness all over again
seen your space madness
alone on a spaceship
set in the moods for love
supposed to be my lover
soulmate spy trained for this mission
from the heavens
They slid into you
you held onto it
I've been alone in space
locked up
abused and broken
and now i see you at the beginning
alone in this spaceship
wondering what happened
for it the invisible thing followed me
when i escaped your grasp and beamed down
they welcomed me back
and now youre stuck
watching a world swallow me whole
And you know they're gonna deal you
a different hand
Should we start over or stick with the plan?
dealt the same hand
in a different world
which we know is the same
revolving around a twst
of purity and the soul
How you lpayed yours out
How i played mine out
We were dealt the exact same hand
the same tests
same deck
