Absent Minded
A world inspired by geniuses
Everytime it rains
they attach the keys to their kites
and run around in the rain
to prove it can be done
instead of sheltering their minds
and forgetting what it took to discover
something we take for granted everyday
Sure things are cheaper store bought
but happiness is not found in what money can buy
its found in the success of putting the pieces together
watchmakers and millions who understand the underground pipes
and wires that make the water pressure flow or drain
Everything has been done yet everyday is a science fair
The city i live in was built by a collector of culture
a little england
little italy
little china
Avenue of nations
little tokyo
an australian market
if only you knew
A world inspired by geniuses
people flying kites in the rain
millions of people making their own steam powered trainsets
What do i have to offer this world?
i have nothing to add!
what is my purpose here?
but to live and surrender to the fact that all i can do is think
and think
and look at how all these people live
and all their actions prove they take soo much for granted
soo many mechanics sure
but whose making their own wheels?
soo many writers sure but whose actually an originator of thought?
soo many artists yes, but has anyone discovered anything new to be admired
a collector
one of everything
here i am
making my own wheel
flying my kite in the rain with a key on it
trying to figure out how to make a clock
inspiring this city of festivvals to collect yet another culture
as they expand this tourist trap
i just want to see on eof everything
in a museum of things we all want and can buy
so go buy the catalogue and order from us
for this museum has one of everything known to man
A world inspired by geniuses,
what would it be like
how would we live
what would you add?
they attach the keys to their kites
and run around in the rain
to prove it can be done
instead of sheltering their minds
and forgetting what it took to discover
something we take for granted everyday
Sure things are cheaper store bought
