After news o'clock
And the doors are locked
Turns himself in
In a gloomy mood
As he slips into
Unconsciousness...
And then he wakes
His sleep was dreamless again
Crawls out of bed
Drifts across the floor
Opens wide the door
Looks up and says
Even the sky is blue
Let the air flow in
Let the air flow out
Perpetually
Just to be alive
Doesn't make a life
Incidentally
And then he wakes
How can he breathe relevance
Into his life?
Is he running from
Is he running to
Or standing still?
Even the sky is blue
Subatomic world
Or a prophet's words
Which to believe?
In the starlit space
Or a laughing face
What do you see?
It's suddenly clear:
Meaning is not inherent
It's just given
By the ones you love
By the ones who care
And by yourself
So every lie is true
If it speaks to you
Every lie is true
If you want it
