Outside
As I was on my way through town
The cats were out to steal the crown
I could not find the highest priest
They told me he was at a feast
My skin was burning in the sun
She told me, that I had to come
The sound I see and colors I hear
They told me that I had been here
All the birds were sitting on top
All I did was shout "Shut up!"
I saw the king was sitting on his throne
Yet, the date I had, was to postpone
And as my flowers faded in the grass
The wall tore down its scary mask
Showed me I'd have to die one day
And that my body will decay
The mice then jumped and said, "come on"
I did not know what they were on
And suddently the sky turned blue
And all the noise was going through
My head in pain right were I stood
'Cause cops were in my neighborhood
THey took all the writing I had done
My skin was burning in the sun
The beast was gazing for some water
Made me forget if I could love her
My son ran through the fire ring
As tigers did some stupid thing
I could not go behind my mind
And did not see what I could find
Green grass could never be the same
The priest lost all his funny fame
And no one wase around my life
With cities burning hot as ice
I can go and I can stay
But I won't know what ever may
Be sitting right behind my chair
A breath of time went through my hair
The sound I see and colors I hear
They told me that I had been here
