Leering empty glazed eyes
Blearily gazing out to sea
Voyage of compromise
Destination uncertainty
Inhuman –– forgetting to breathe
What have they made of me?
Hemmed in by my fate
Pushed to the periphery
A great big zero incarnate
I could hover over any sea
But I guess I'm thankful
My life could be a whole lot worse
And I guess I'm not empty
I have your memory to nurse
Setting sail on golden seas
Though packed tight in this coffin
There's plenty of space in here for love
Though everything's waves and ether
You're like a solid rock to me
Hallelujah! Glory be!
[Lights descend on sea, which vaporises. A new Heimat now looms large.]
