- Gotta Figure It Out -

I do not feel comfortable
                           Why does the elevator move so slowly
                             The light flashes ... the fourth floor
                             Out in the gloomy hall that appears
                          My mind is racing with impatient thoughts
 
                                          In all its decay
                       a whisper among the other sounds of the night
                                      Mystery casts shadows
                                     The shadows of the past
                                     may have roots far back

                           Eyes that see things that does not exist
                            Maybe I should not listen to old stories
                                    I can still turn ... ("chicken")
                                     even though it is madness
                                  The back room - behind reality
                                   A door that leads to nowhere
                              just a handful of dust under the sky


                                                   ***
