Stamina

(album: 12 Views Of Beatenberg - 2018)

I turn into a salamander
Playing an old computer game
I felt my thoughts becoming grander
A flower blooming in a flame

Why do I keep running out of stamina?
Why do I keep opening and closing the doors and windows?
What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?

In my cocoon no one can hear me
It's like I'm singing in an urn
When I emerge I will see clearly
The glowing pixelated fern

Why do I keep running out of stamina?
Why do I keep opening and closing the doors and windows?
What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?

Do you imagine your condition to be worse than it is?
Do you compare yourself to figures of mythology?
Your metamorphosis must be close at hand

Why do I keep running out of stamina?
Why do I keep opening and closing the doors and windows?
What am I supposed to do with this length of silken thread?
Why is it so hard to go from one thing into another?
