See You Around

from The Man With 9 Brains by BAAN

lyrics

Walking down the street in my hometown
Dead upon my broken feet, the rain was coming down
I peeled off all my skin, to see what lay beneath me
I tell you brothers and sisters, I don’t think you will believe me
There was nothing there, just an empty space
I dived right, and found myself looking out from my empty face

I knew I could not save me, no soul to be found
I swear it’s not because I’m lazy, these days I just don’t get around

The world’s gone crazy
But still it can amaze me
The beauty will not phase me
But still it can enrage me
Stupid fools
Stupid rules
A book of lies
A pig that flies

So, I’m going underground
Where I never will be found
In starlight I would happily drown

I suppose what I’m trying to say
In my inevitably clumsy way
I apologise for spending time
Living my life as if my life was mine

I give it up, take it back!
Out of the daylight, into the black
And I know what I’ll find there
The source of all my nightmares
They live in the dark
Behind my mind
They terrorise me
And leave me blind

Things that happened a lifetime ago
Bubble up and hurt me so
A wave on the beach
A baby out of reach

I suppose what I’m trying to say
In my stupidly stupid way
I cannot apologise
For being the agent of my own demise

Goodbye
Don’t try
To follow me
Maybe I will see
You around
