Morning
The sun warms my skin
And it makes me feel
Like I could throw it all away again.
Warm wind in my hair
A fresh breeze in the air
But it's not there for me to enjoy
So I just can't care
If I die tomorrow
Don't you cry for me
Take the day off and sit in the sun
And laugh because I'm free.
Evening
Too many memories come at night.
No one to share them with
No one to touch
The room rings with silence
Past achievements gather dust
So many self-inscribed trophies...
What do they matter?
If I die tomorrow
Don't you cry for me
Take the day off and sit in the sun
And laugh because I'm free.
Freedom
You know it's all I want
Just to exist
Take some time to enjoy life
It's too bad that man must be machinery
Whose only purpose is to oil itself
Man is not perpetual motion
And machines never cry.....
Sometimes it's so damned hard to see
Just what's left around here to be.
The sun still shines, maybe an answer's there.....
Kind of find it hard to care.....
All the things I'll never see
All the things I'll never know
All the things I'll never be
All the things I'll never show
But these are speculations and as such, useless
And failure's just a state of mind, right?
But if I die tomorrow,
Don't you cry for me
Take the day off and sit in the sun
And laugh because I'm free.
