Lyrics

I Am

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My fingers are grass

My tongue the asp

My town a burial mound

My eyes are jewels

My ears hear fools

And I put them down

My feet are wings

My body sings

Without a sound

Eyes of blind ignorance

See a world of despair

Mountains of man

Hide cities too deep

Cool dark graves where bodies creep

My nose is sharp

It cuts the glass

And then I escape

My back is flat

Off the beaten track

Am a landscape

My body and spine

They intertwine

I am a raging snake

I am at peace

The feeling's neat

Then suddenly I awake

Eyes of blind ignorance

See a world of despair

Mountains of man

Hide cities too deep

Cool dark graves where bodies creep

I am a waterfall

I come tumbling

(Tumbling)

Tumbling

(Tumbling)

Down into infinity

Down in journey to the sea

Down, I rain on leaves and trees

On beggars and thieves

I am, I am, I am, I am

I stand at my window

Wind and moonlight

Fire my hair

I touch the glass

It can't be seen

But it's always there

I'm told I'm free

And I believe

Four walls imprison me

Eyes of blind ignorance

See a world of despair

Mountains of man

Hide cities too deep

Cool dark graves where bodies creep

My fingers are numb

My tongue is blunt

I am only me

My eyes are shallow

My ears hollow

I am only me

My feet are still

I'm unfulfilled

I am only me

My head's a bed

It feels like lead

My mind is totally free

I must sleep

(I)

I must sleep

(Am)

I must sleep

(A waterfall)

I must sleep

I must sleep

(I)

I must sleep

(Am)

I must sleep

(A waterfall)

Sleep, sleep

Sleep, sleep
