I Am Lyrics


My fingers are grass
My tongue the asp
My town a burial moundMy eyes are jewels
My ears hear fools
And I put them downMy feet are wings
My body sings
Without a soundEyes of blind ignorance
See a world of despair
Mountains of man
Hide cities too deep
Cool dark graves where bodies creepMy nose is sharp
It cuts the glass
And then I escapeMy back is flat
Off the beaten track
Am a landscapeMy body and spine
They intertwine
I am a raging snakeI am at peace
The feeling's neat

Then suddenly I awakeEyes of blind ignorance
See a world of despair
Mountains of man
Hide cities too deep
Cool dark graves where bodies creepI am a waterfall
I come tumbling
(Tumbling)
Tumbling
(Tumbling)
Down into infinity
Down in journey to the sea
Down, I rain on leaves and trees
On beggars and thieves
I am, I am, I am, I amI stand at my window
Wind and moonlight
Fire my hairI touch the glass
It can't be seen
But it's always thereI'm told I'm free
And I believe
Four walls imprison meEyes of blind ignorance
See a world of despair
Mountains of man
Hide cities too deep
Cool dark graves where bodies creepMy fingers are numb
My tongue is blunt
I am only meMy eyes are shallow
My ears hollow
I am only meMy feet are still
I'm unfulfilled
I am only meMy head's a bed
It feels like lead
My mind is totally freeI must sleep
(I)
I must sleep
(Am)
I must sleep
(A waterfall)
I must sleep
I must sleep
(I)
I must sleep
(Am)
I must sleep
(A waterfall)
Sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep
