The Flickering Wall - Ian Mcculloch

In my world in my little world

Life lies upon the floor

The wind blows in and out again

Through windows and through doors

And it’s there I’ll look and it’s there I’ll find

What it was I started after

When I mistook what I had in mind

For something made to matter

I heard the footsteps in the street

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

Moved my lips but I couldn’t speak

Choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

In my dreams recurring dreams

But I was never there

Life is still invisible

Just needing to be where

With any luck I might just find

What it was I started after

When I undertook what I had in mind

When everything mattered

When I saw the gods up in the sky

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I saw the world through hazel eyes

And choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

When I saw the gods up in the sky

I saw the lights on the flickering wall

I saw the world through hazel eyes

And choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder of it all

Choked on the wonder

Choked on the wonder

Choked on the wonder of it all
