The Breeze

from Somewhere Nowhere by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

don’t do the best you can
don’t be the last to stand
don’t take me by the hand
dance in the sinking sun

will I always return? will I ever learn?
blindly gorge myself on the potion

don’t give me what I need
don’t move at lightning speed
don’t say it loud and clear
don’t grab the wheel and steer

which way should I turn? starboard or astern?
I get paralyzed by the notion
that I’m a useless drone on a wobbly throne
abandoned by those once in devotion

I’ll go and search for the pieces the pieces
that'll help me to fill up the void
and I’ll ignore all the teases the teases
of plans which would only disappoint

decisions error-prone cannot be postponed
I choose a life forever in motion

I hail the breach of the peace the peace
that’s forcing me to get to the point
I’ll go and fight the disease the disease
inducing a blurring of my sight
I’ll train to withstand the breeze the breeze
that’s causing this aching in my joints
I scream to chase off the beast the beast
that’s keeping me from making up my mind.
