Modern Monk

I’m like a like a modern monk
I’m always running from love
Towards something ill defined
I took a jump
And they layed me on a stretcher
Over the modern city
Where I´m in pain and I’m alien in my skin
I can see the vermillion colours over Ostbanhoff station
Stretching out a familiar sigh history my friend
I’m like a modern monk
Captive in my own bodies cells
How can I repeat what I´ve seen?
I’m in a dream
But it feels like its a nightmare
Trying to face the future
I’m a man it feel like I´m a child
I can’t walk these streets now
Without feeling I´m scurrying like a mouse
Over & over the feeling grows
Till i get home my friend
History may rise and history may fall
Silent are the wars locked with the skull
Divided to the core, conflicted in the self
Trying to arrange the cards with which we´re dealt
Interlock horn and hold the demons gaze
If the factions grow try not to turn away my friend
We’re all just modern monks
Reckless & back to front
Through the prism of this life I fall
In nothingness
I find that I feel blessed
Trying still to make sense
False dialogues
Intersect the hush
Autumn shades look regal yet the
Colors of man so fleeting
Joyfully I accept the whole world into my arms
Cause after all,
We’re all just modern monks
And after all
I’m just a modern monk
