A Different Way to Live

underneath the landscape of my desire
to capture it and make it feel like a place
a place that I'm just happy to live and to move for
my other love — a romantic life, the love of my mind

and I know that I'm alone now, but I don't care.
I want to leave this place and watch as life goes on.
but what I need right now’s a break, something to cry on
a black hole in the wall to just fall into, to ease the pain

I’m taking pictures, it's pretty easy
to create a new scene, create a new system to do the work
but I don’t want it! no! no!
you won’t know -
that i’m just a machine, two eyes and a tail, a heart and mouth

and if i’m left here to stay in this room, what will it be like?
will i be empty, dusty for days, made to wait?
am i a city, littered with buildings, a network of wires?
or do i believe in beginning again, in taking shape?

I leave the city! unplugged, it’s pretty easy
something like a machine, something out of a movie, eventually
all i wanted was to feel good alone
I’m restless now, I’m back but wait, and here I come.

I found myself a little bored to the point
eventually dropped everything and set back to sleep
well, i’m not dead, the moment arrived, it came and it was over
I can't remember the number of times that i tried

Please, don’t

i could try to push it all away
one more try to make you stay
one more night to spin and pace
reaching out the weakest way

i could try to push it all away
nothing here can make you stay
one more night to play the game
knowing you’ll leave either way

i could try to push it all away
