[00:11.00]
[00:13.58]	All these walls were never really there,
[00:17.47]	nor the ceiling or the chair.
[00:20.66]	I am eking weeks of peace on a beach
[00:24.06]	I see the breezes weave the trees,
[00:27.19]	these walls you find - they’re yours and mine
[00:30.37]	confined not by them I
[00:33.34]	I am in times that lie behind my eyelids,
[00:36.68]	the sunsets steal the rising silence,
[00:39.97]	I’ll not feel no fear
[00:43.66]	Cause I’m not really here
[00:46.74]	I’m nowhere near here
[00:52.70]	Theres no rain on roof that grates and beats me
[00:55.85]	my favorite tree breaking lights to pieces
[00:59.07]	sprinkling, sharded light on me
[01:02.34]	throw a stone as high as you can
[01:05.49]	and hearing with hand not hear it land
[01:08.43]	nothing taxing, dusting sand
[01:11.48]	my window and world spins and twirls,
[01:14.96]	the walls then fall, i recall the sore
[01:18.17]	white clouds white wash faded spotless
[01:21.36]	the weighty shadows, ranges of rocks
[01:24.66]	the cold is all illusion thought up
[01:27.79]	the stroll on the shore, snooze and explore
[01:31.00]	all possibilities in each new morning,
[01:34.28]	until satisfied reaching out, yawning
[01:38.02]	fish in a big dish, some rice and spice,
[01:40.76]	salt over shoulder never (…)
[01:43.85]	the truth I’ve told was silence sometimes
[01:47.18]	but who soul does not hide any crimes
[01:50.27]	wrapped in walls, encircled by work
[01:53.40]	the walls fall - this story occurs
[01:56.71]	no barrier, no boundary, all hours I please
[02:00.50]	the freedom to stay all stray
[02:03.62]	be fiend or friend, cause no harm but charm - the peaceful end
[02:09.38]	I’ll not feel no fear
[02:13.27]	Cause I’m not really here
[02:16.42]	I’m nowhere near here
[02:22.58]	I’ll not feel no fear
[02:26.07]	Cause I’m not really here
[02:29.01]	I’m nowhere near here
[02:34.82]	Pale ancient woods, strewn white sandy bays
[02:38.24]	this ugly room pales away today
[02:41.40]	I am swimming, in the ocean
[02:44.28]	I sink slow motion
[02:45.81]	fingers, toes floating
[02:47.95]	every year til yesterday
[02:50.84]	seeing the eternal setting sea
[02:54.21]	I compare all this to me,
[02:57.28]	little fleeting momentary me
[03:00.47]	I blink my eyes, this is reminding me
[03:03.95]	life lies in the blink of an eye
[03:07.09]	the old die for reasons, new tide, four seasons
[03:10.89]	new life born is like changing
[03:13.64]	all these walls were really never there
[03:16.72]	nor the ceiling or the chair
[03:19.79]	I am eking weeks of peace on a beach
[03:23.03]	I see the breezes weave the trees
[03:26.30]	I am not here at all,
[03:28.99]	you dearly fooled,
[03:30.51]	I see busheling trees, the shush at the sea
[03:34.46]	the mischievous
[03:36.35]	fluttering seagulls
[03:37.93]	No!
[03:39.74]	I’m not trapped in a box, I’m glancing at rocks
[03:43.28]	I am dancing off docks
[03:46.16]	since this dance began
[03:48.31]	thats where i am
[03:51.83]	I’m not feel no fear
[03:55.50]	Cause I’m not really here
[03:59.00]	I’m nowhere near
[04:04.94]	I’m not feel no fear
[04:08.51]	Cause I’m not really here
[04:11.45]	I’m nowhere near
[04:17.22]
