These are lyrics to a song; a song for which I have long forgotten the melody.
It’s not real
(But it is)
A cloak of knowing
Rests on my head
Life and death
Sounds of truth
In the crowd
Speak to wisdom
Spin me a tune
(Spin me a tune)
I want to die
But I don’t…
I want to die
But I won’t…
Life is…
com-pli-cated
Life is…
hard
Life is…
ea-sy
Spin me a tune
(Spin me a tune)
Bring this blanket
Wrap me in warmth
A patchwork quilt
Speaking truth
(Spin me)
Languages of love
Languages of hate
Languages of comfort
Languages of longing
(a tune)
Bring this thing
Cover me in lies
A picture on the wall
Leaves me empty
What worth is this?
No worth
What worth is this?
Ev-ery-thing
I stare at
The summer eyes disfigured
A burning sight
What worth is this?
No worth
What worth is this?
All lies
But you know
(You know)
This is it
(You know)
This is a lie
(You know)
This is me
It’s not real
It’s not real
It’s not real
But it is
(You know)
Spin me a tune
Make it right
Spin me a tune
Spin me a tune
