i can see clearly now
you were holding my hand
i stayed up till dawn
soon began to understand

i wanted everything including your touch
just for me
but we were separated –
by the bounds of different realities

turning my back on familiarity
changing the mould of my reality
i have been out with strange companions
and i have learnt so many things

i have been lazing about
i have been lazing around
i never seem to get things done
it just gets me down
so i turn around and i argue back

it is alright for you to stay here
you can write your words today
time to go sleep,
pray, if you want to pray

i was waiting
considering my position
of confusion and illusion
and standing about in the rain
because it is cold
and i don’t like the pain

insecurity today
it took all my things away
my stability, my sanity
here i am sitting around
playing games without a sound

i hope you are feeling secure
i hope you are feeling okay
i hope there is a future
and i hope there is a way

out here we all want freedom
in our magically reversed kingdom
of bad ouija secrets from a broken board
a mirror backed call
from madness and dread

Old Things
