The Plain - Johan Agebjörn

Rivers in the sky, a drifting cosmic quiet. Dry fields infertile, dying grass on bitter bone. A bastard, fostered patch of earth - the Night in calm resignation as smoke meets the sky. Dreaming in waves, bleeding hallucinations. My veins extend, my blood is in the stars. The plains have not forgotten - the bitter winds forever tell. It rises red at dawn, and falls cold with the night. Carried through clouds, the great expanse. Displaced, my eyes need not see. Sky is all, separating. Land is lost, only away.

I'll start this off without any words I got so high, I scratched till I bled Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The finest day that I've ever had Was when I learned to cry on command Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain My mother died every night It's safe to say, don't quote me on that I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? The black sheep got blackmailed again Forgot to put on the zip code Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain Somewhere I have heard this before In a dream my memory has stored As defense I'm neutered and spayed What the hell am I trying to say? It is now time to make it unclear To write off lines that don't make sense I love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? And one more special message to go And when I'm done, I can go home Love myself better than you I know it's wrong so what should I do? I'm on a plain I can't complain I'm on a plain

In the night nobody can see the treasures that we hide, Let's take a ride into the city and pretend that we're Oblivious to time. It's a fight, every day I stay a part of the machine, I'm getting tired of choosing sides and making judgments About the emptyness of life. But it's alright by your side. -- And if you want to we can disappear into the darkness, We can float into the light, and you can tell me that you Want to start a revolution or just waste a little time. I never wanted to be special, I just wanted someone that was special to be mine, Don't say you understand, Just take me by the hand and come watch the world go by. And I try to make sense of the information passing by, It's getting harder to be truthful everytime I try to justify my Life. You are right, I would see the world much clearer by your Side, We could be shining like the satellites that guide us on our Way into the night. You're the light by my side.
