Escaping the universe
For so long have I suffered
Still had time to go around the world
And come back humbled
In these arms
Only had to walk on stage
Look over the horizon
And think
I will call it paradise
I came back years later
After I’ve gone everywhere
I never thought it mattered
Dear me it does
I can own it
I can own the place
I only have to recognise it
I only have to name it
Deep down underneath the crust
Further down
Inside the sun
Is this really paradise?
For so long have I suffered
Not one ever acknowledging
Not that anyone could comprehend
The path I’ve followed
Being on a path
Of absolute self-actualisation
And realising the simplicity
Of owning everything
So easily this everything
Sounds so distorted
And you stand there wondering
Is this it?
I don’t know
I’ve lost my way along the way
At the centre of it all
It will never be enough
For so long have I suffered
Still had time to go around the universe
It is still a prison
I must escape
We own the universe
It is still a prison
We must go further
We must escape
For so long have we suffered
