A thousand powdered parts

Past the sun and moon

The hint of timelessness splashed

On this afternoon

And they tell me i'm inside

When i run and when i hide

I want to touch you



I think my courage must

Never leave this room

It's like the history that

Hides in the monsoon

And they tell me i'm alive

But when i lean into a dive

I want to touch you



At home they think we must be fools

The sky or street, they're both as cruel

When you're running low on fuel

And i ran out books ago

Last night i overheard your prayers

It's emptiness that scares

Or disappearing in thin air

To a lost place down below



Once upon a time

In a distant land

I felt the rising sun

Focused through my hand

And they tell me i'm so changed

But if i ever was the same

I want to touch you



The action calls me away
