A pounding head
A pounding head
Compounding problems
These lies and lies
Building buildings for their walls alone
New comfort for ever puzzled heads
Closing off the mind and the sky
Forgetting the lessons of the dead
Little white light lino lines
Tracing their ebb forever
Counting what can be counted
For pleasures collusive reap
I alternate
Between these ceilings and sleep
Each with its own false sense of security
And hypocritical belief
Compounding problems
These lies and lies
Building buildings for their walls alone
New comfort for ever puzzled heads
Closing off the mind and the sky
Forgetting the lessons of the dead
Little white light lino lines
Tracing their ebb forever
Counting what can be counted
For pleasures collusive reap
I alternate
Between these ceilings and sleep
Each with its own false sense of security
And hypocritical belief
