What Do You Know
don't turn around to be longing at the mirror
that just images the past of yourself
float, leave behind all the Autumn leaves that fallen
just discarded from the branch of that time.
and if
if you can
could you sing into the wind
all the memories that carried you down
let them sing
let them sing
let them sing to someone else
a tune they haven't heard
maybe they will learn not to drift away
let them sing
let them sing
let them sing to someone else
someone that needs help with their life
O god
why do you do me
no need to fool me
o god
O god
why do you school me
don't need to use me
o god
O god
why do you choose me
I just want you to lose me
o god
now say, now say again
who
are
my
friends
NOW SAY! now say again...
I
need
more
of
that
intervention
How much more water could I flow into your mouth without drinking it
all this time that you have been searching when your all buried deep in it
what could grow in a hallow mind if there's no words in feeding it
If alone cherish all your life cause we don't no the end of it
What's more to ask? What's more to do? What's more to feel? What else could I do? What
happened to these? What happened some? Why not let die? Why not let live? Why not just
take? Why not just give? Why not be slaved? Why not be free? Why not stay glued to the
T.V. screen? Where are the heroes? Where are the saved? Where are the unused empty graves?
Where are the children? Where are the old? Should we leave? Should we go? O God, tell me!
tell me! What do you know!
