Pitchless Tone

Even though nothing’s predictable
Mental or physical
You’re an exception, the outcome is known
Still no hesitation is visible
I’ll keep a list till your tissue is sewn
And you’re blissfully cloned
Do you really not yet know
I define a nameless shape
I define a markless gauge
I define a pitchless tone
What use can you find for a man
Who reached out a hand
But who’s reaching the end of his useful lifespan?
You said, «we won’t get very far
I don’t know what you are but I know what you aren’t»
Can you really not quite see
I define a pitchless tone
Empty set of braces closed
I define a keyless code
When I was young enough to still believe
Some elusive half-remembered dream
Now I know too much to ever sleep
Sleep easy
Sleep easy
