Let's begin at the top: |
|
there's no reason to think that this will ever stop, |
|
so let's go back and start again; |
|
in this finite uncertainty we'll circle round and then |
|
sail a craft of self-conviction |
|
across tomorrow-never-knows |
|
where the surface stays unruffled |
|
while the coral clusters quietly down below. |
|
Cutting figures of pride and will like Leonardo cartoons |
|
we go flying formation in our hot-air speech balloons. |
|
Can't go back, can't reverse... |
|
no-one here really quite believes |
|
the bubble's going to, |
|
the bubble's going to, |
|
the bubble's going to burst. |
|
I fell off the raft of self-assurance |
|
into undertow that sucked me dry and deep; |
|
bent double by thought bubbles flooding through my blood |
|
I surfaced from a lifetime's worth of sleep. |
|
I remember once I gave myself the lecture, |
|
swore on life as both a blessing and a curse |
|
but all solid faith seems nothing but conjecture |
|
now the bubble's going to, |
|
bubble's going to, |
|
bubble's going to, |
|
bubble's going to burst. |
|
And our bones become the coral of the future |
|
and we slake the life-long thirst; |
|
with a pin-prick, on a reef like a razor |
|
the bubble's going to burst, |
|
the bubble's going to burst. |
|
The bubble's sure to burst. |
