I'm walking slow
Down streets I know
Now alien designs
With the weight of nameless valentines
Familiar ties
Connections I
no longer understand
I'll just wait for truth to take my hand
Guess I have a home
Guess I'm not alone
I've got friends I adore
But sometimes it feels as though
You might as well just knock on any door
No one outside
No one inside
My beat has flown away
And this troubled feeling just can't stay
Random fruit
Too many kinds
Like worlds I'll never touch
I'll buy one persimmon
And know this much
Guess I have a home
Guess I'm not alone
I've got friends I adore
But sometimes it feels as though
You might as well just knock on any door
My world it falls prey
to life's curious ways
And lions lick their paws
Not remembering the beast that was
Time moves never strays
In its elegant way
And lions lick their paws
Cheerleaders for nature's laws
Guess I have a home
Guess I'm not alone
I've got friends I adore
But sometimes it feels as though
You might as well just knock on any door
