lyrics

Well I started out with a question
So I could embark on my quest and
Here’s my inventory, my itinerary and my mission statement
Wasn’t very long on the road when
Thought I could afford a distraction
Gain some experience being itinerant, ‘til the answer’s blatant
What could be the harm to be a little aimless?
Maybe I can wait ‘til the war is over

Sitting on a rock lost for words
Nothing coming out, nothing works
Quiet little universe
Like a warrior wearing pyjamas
Like a warrior drowned in full armour

After many years I met an old man
Rambling and raving and broken
I was struck by the inescapable feeling I was staring at my own reflection
Though this vision won’t likely come true
I don’t want to wake from this dream to
Unknown environment, ‘Game over: 4%
Goodbye, and thanks for playing.’
Sounding the alarm
Yeah it’s time to wake up
I don’t want to wait ‘til my life is over

Sitting on a rock lost for words
Nothing coming out, nothing works
Quiet little universe
Like a warrior wearing pyjamas
Like a warrior drowned in full armour

Sitting on a rock lost for words
Nothing coming out, nothing works
Quiet little universe
Like a warrior wearing pyjamas
Like a warrior drowned in full armour
