I Am Someone Looking for Something - Swordplay

I am someone looking for something

But I promise I would never interrupt your regular programming for nothing

But something so easy to miss it bleeds into the scenery

See life up close.

Get wired into the machinery

Someone give me exactly what I’ve been needing

I have recurring dreams of making graffiti, the future repeating, repeating

And it keeps feeding into the data stream

I see familiar faces but the visions are fleeting

Calculators under my eyelids

But no notable Nobel prizes on my horizons

And no sight of any island

I go to sleep nightly in this place and don’t even know where my own light is

Half the energy we try with is electrical pulses controlled by scientists

Disconnect the appliances

One day they will come and find you, and beside you

Patiently along the way angels may guide you

I’ve been in the slingshot.

I’m ready to sleep

This is a musical chairs game and I remove my seat

My cannons are left out burning on a beach

And I am quiet only because I lost my speech

And I never spoken very long with these ghosts

And never paid that much attention to my horoscope

My heart stops beating if you get too close

Release me.

Please let me go

This is a temporary version of something permanent

Turn up the sermons and laugh.

Shut up and learn from it
