I'm My Whole World Tonight

(album: The Lives Of Others - 2021)

Outside it's a deadened air
But in my room I'm everywhere
Shut your eyes to the gallery
The scenes of blackened factories
Crystalline blue oceans pools
The bells they toll at every school

I am my whole world tonight
My axis tilts to find
Imaginary remains
I wonder all the same

There's a dearth of fog and sleet
And in here's unrelenting heat
I'm on the cattle trains
And experimental aeroplanes
Latitude and longitude
Who cared in 1342
I am my whole world tonight
My axis tilts to find

I am my whole world tonight
My axis tilts to find
Imaginary fades
I drift off all the same

I submit to the sinking sands
Time drips glass right through my hands

I am my whole world tonight
My axis tilts to find
Imaginary fades
I wake up all the same
Tomorrow's just today
