My Body Floating In My Skin

My body is floating in my skin, taking me right back to where the universe begins, nothing was on the face of the earth, we came and found it rumbling with dirt. The particle is so fine, if you place it under a microscope, you would observe that it is more than divine. If you take samples of the earth’s crust and mix it in liquids and gas you will discover the true origin of mankind. You scream and shout from the top of your balcony, calling out to the people driving the old lorry; you are heading up north in a hurry to join the crew before the next full moon. The world exits in four dice and you have to throw it carefully or you will pay a bountiful price, the side up must stay up and the side that is down must gather around. The heart of a fool resides in his head and wisdom has no place with the dead. Always work hard for what you want or the villagers will treat you with scorn, up north you can find abundance and down south you will find the tail of the goat. My body is floating in my skin, I have to show you when it begins; one man sets out on a mission to search for the missing clue and he ends up into a ship that takes him across the ditch. He met some vagrant on the way and some villain that led him astray; he became a bum on the street and took advantage of all the people that he meets; he went in and out of jail until he met one man that gave him a bail. They assign him a title and raise his position to a military man; They gave him a badge to kill and promote his ambition on the hill and when the day is done, they leave him burning in the sun. My body is floating in my skin, you have got to send some supply to the north before the bleeding begins; supplies are running low and you don’t have enough resource to complete the show. The technology is in a mess and there is frequent disruption on the internet, the people have taken on a persona sabotaging the public order. If you stand on the corner, they throw stones at you and threatened to come and get you, they come in and out as they please and send the dogs to bite at the breeze, and when the day is done, they gather in the bar and defame your character. My body is floating in my skin, I want to begin the next leg of the journey before the winter begins, I have no script or purse but courage and stamina to face the next wind. My heart is pure and my spirit is bold and I want to have fun before the journey is done. I am waiting on a date so give me a call before it’s too late.
