I see myself in the future My work is done I’ve used my will Dreams turned to stone My life sacrificed for my life Not a deed undone Sitting on the porch Rock’n Back’n Forth Rock’n Back’n Forth I’m sketching a small row of grape leaves I can hear the sound of the pencil on the paper Whispering Do you remember Do you remember When you saw yourself in the future Rock’n Back’n Forth Rock’n Back’n Forth If I am not the me I think I am then I must be the I I am Let me say that again Rock’n Back’n Forth

When I Arive 04:59
When I arrive my smile’s so big it wraps around the universe Flies around the universe Saluting its steps through this existence Hovering like a spaceship in the stars Looking down upon myself Arrows cutting liquid space Piercing the ground around me Like the chalk around a dead man’s corpse I lie there As the lightning strikes my gaze I step into this I slide into this I float into this I fly
