Will Not Bring Us Together
"I am what I am and I am what I plan
And the world that has gathered around me
It seems quite grand
In this world of motion mining
I lay back on my fists
But then I reach around your long black gown
And grap your supple wrists
The entrance to the cavern is just below my bed
And the dust that has been gathered
And the fur that has been shed
I reach far back into empty black space
Hoping my fingertips will catch a small trace
Of the things that have been gathered there for years
But the letters that you sent me
And the cards that you signed
And the napkins and the flatware
And the plates of china fine
Or the gumballs or the games, the glasses or the meals
The pictures, the frames, the use of your wheels
The candy, the drinks and all of your friends
Will not bring us together again
And I guess that I'm sure that I think that I'm fine
And I think I'm pretty happy putting our life behind
But the images are strong and physical in my room
Makes me filter out the tie-down, the frustration
And the gloom
And I know that now it's an impossible thing
But sever the bond and your freedom will ring
I am what I am and I am what I plan
And the world that has gathered around me
It seems quite grand
In this world of motion mining
I lay back on my fists
But then I reach around your long black gown
And grap your supple wrists
The entrance to the cavern is just below my bed
And the dust that has been gathered
And the fur that has been shed
I reach far back into empty black space
Hoping my fingertips will catch a small trace
Of the things that have been gathered there for years
But the letters that you sent me
And the cards that you signed
And the napkins and the flatware
And the plates of china fine
Or the gumballs or the games, the glasses or the meals
The pictures, the frames, the use of your wheels
The candy, the drinks and all of your friends
Will not bring us together
The candy, the drinks and all of your friends
Will not bring us together
The candy, the drinks and all of your friends
Will not bring us together again"
