Up and down - Back and forward Rattle the cage - To wake my mother From black and white dreams and colorful spells Into a different set of rooms – Where we don’t belong A Serpent arrives - From out of the depths Heading for the sun - Looking into my eyes
Illuminate me so I may see the light Eliminate me so I cease to long for anything Illuminate me so I can tell what’s right Eliminate me so I come to know myself
I better run - Before you touch me Tripping over my own feet I - Break open my head Black and white flowers and colorful insects Emerge from the wound – Too many to contain them Footsteps in the sand - Lead out through a gate Onto a winding path – in between two towers
Illuminate me so I may see the light Eliminate me so I won’t remember anything Illuminate me so I can sense what’s right Eliminate me so I come to forget myself
High and Low - In laughter and in tears Among ruins on a hill - Overlooking a dark sea Of black and white words and colorful songs Closing in around me – Stealing my breath Answers appear – and convictions dissolve We get ready for the flames – to embrace our souls
Illuminate me - Eliminate me - Illuminate me - Eliminate me
A dose of confusion - To bridge the gap Building a ship - Within a bottle Filled with black and white fears and colorful hopes Afloat on an ocean – In search of meaning Right here Right now - Death defeats life Questioning my love – for everything around me
Illuminate me so I may see the light Eliminate me so I lose everything Illuminate me so I can feel what’s right Eliminate me so I find what’s left of myself
Illuminate me - Eliminate me - Illuminate me - Eliminate me Illuminate me Eliminate me Illuminate me Eliminate me
