this is a demo of a song. it is an original improvisation piece.


lyrics:

you run fast, i run faster
to a point no one can know
there‘s forks and stairs
and a ticking clock

will you swerve or duck
when the tree lies flat?
or will you wait and cut
those branches off?

i've forgotten how to speak
then forgotten how to see
what a hand can hold
and an honest word can mean

(interlude)
[time the precious thing is hurt
but will it survive after all?
and how much is racing worth to them
when it sure must be safer to stop?]

from the mountains to the caves
i wander in seconds
and back again
in the blink of your eye

a step too fast and one leg starts to trip
a step too slow and you’d be out of sight
then ask yourself once how the chances, they stand
that all of this leads to the arms of the other

is it stupid to give oneself in to the speed?
let go of the seed, drop it into the soil
without knowing it all, without being too close
a matter of feeling, alive in the hall
