Before The Rain - Paragraph lyrics

rate me

Time unfolds like unconscious writing, <br />

A universe of words<br />

Gathered by the fragile consistence of paper.<br />

A godlike creative process, <br />

Soliloquy and solemn.<br />

<br />

I slept while thunderous waterfalls<br />

Flooded narrow sidewalks.<br />

The nervebreaking silence seemed a distant relic, <br />

When dragonflies used to enjoy<br />

The kindness of fading lullabies.<br />

<br />

I slept while in the hills<br />

Cities clashed for an obsolete reason, <br />

Betrayal and treason.<br />

<br />

I slept while thunderous waterfalls<br />

Came washing over those who lingered, <br />

Hopelessly regarding the marvels of self-demise<br />

What other reason could you otherwise Imagine?<br />

<br />

I do not wish to be history s typist.<br />

I wish to be it s writer, not a mere spectator, <br />

And to command a rebellion of stars.<br />

A discreet, yet powerful seduction.<br />

A thespian savoir-faire for whom may learn to dare, <br />

How to conceal such discipline.
