we live on a mountain right at the top there’s a beautiful view from the top of the mountain every morning i walk towards the edge and throw little things off like: car-parts, bottles and cutlery or whatever i find lying around
it’s become a habit a way to start the day
i go through this before you wake up so i can feel happier to be safe up here with you
it’s real early morning no-one is awake i’m back at my cliff still throwing things off i listen to the sounds they make on their way down i follow with my eyes ‘til they crash imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks
and when it lands will my eyes be closed or open?
i’ll go through all this before you wake up so i can feel happier to be safe up here with you

I did my best, it wasn’t much I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I’ll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
- Leonard Cohen
Picture fresh as water clear, days have passed without you here Street lights dancing on the dark across the park Waiting for a word from you, waiting for a sign or two Footsteps on the city ground, you know the sound.

Now your grip’s too strong Can’t catch love with a net or a gun Gotta keep faith that your path will change Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow
I got out of your range Tomorrow All your suffering seems vain Change tomorrow Some forgiveness now Tomorrow Love’s no sacred cow
- James, Tomorrow
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall It can be sweet though incomplete though And the frames will freeze See me on all fours.
It’s been a long time.

I who have nothing but the lack of variation, And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation.

We’re captive on a carousel of time. We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came And go round and round and round in the circle game.
