Silence , stillness and darkness
Were my universe.
Strange impressions and places
Were my own palaces.
For i was king of my kingdom
All my thoughts were my subjects
And all my thoughts, my nightmares.
And my beautiful dreams, stillborn.
Yet I stagger onwards
Yet I stagger on relentless
Yet I stagger on and on and on.
In time, in time, in time
The infant condition of my lost soul
Will thrive in the forest solitudes.
I will inhale the sun
And exhale some of the pain.
If, but for a minute, I will rejoice.
If but a minute, i will be human.
And they will try to bring me down.
Yet i will stagger onwards
Until silence, stillness and darkness
Become my universe again.
Yet I stagger onwards
Yet I stagger on relentless
Yet I stagger on and on and on.
