Halo of Flies

All you needed was somebody with a dream, A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. Only dead fish float with the stream - Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial. I'm not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan, I won't play Jesus Christ - Santa Claus. I'll never pass for a superman - I'm just an effect trying to find a cause. Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here. Is it because I'm flesh and blood That creature comforts feel so good? I give my body all it needs - It sleeps and eats and shits and breeds. And if I keep my feelings stum, Hard luck - bibo ergo sum. Just trying to do the best I can Is a giant leap for this small man. All you needed was somebody with a dream, A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. Only dead fish float with the stream - Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial. You say that life is a miracle - I don't believe one word. Forgive me for being so cynical - From down here you all look absurd. So are you happy now we all feel the same? Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal. You're afraid to go against the grain, Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual. James T. Kirk - Albert Einstein, Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise. If you're out there send me a sign - I need somebody to sympathise with. Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here. Must I succumb to every urge - First feast and fast (then binge and purge). My spirit's strong - my flesh is weak, I laugh and cry and scream and speak. And sometimes when I feel confused, I walk a path I did not choose. Watch my life on video - A private homemade horror show. All you needed was somebody with a dream, A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. Only dead fish float with the stream - Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial. So are you happy now we all feel the same? Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal. You're afraid to go against the grain, Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual. You say that life is a miracle - I don't believe one word. Forgive me for being so cynical - From down here you all look absurd. --- Halo of Flies - Skyclad
