Reuben’s Songs — For Yannis

Not 100% on this artwork — but the concept is there

Leaves on the trees gaze at me

And I stop to stare for a while

I breathe in the air deeper than ever

And it moves the World round

A knife for a mind should stay in its sheath

Only then should we hold the World

But the World is ours only seen in its parts

By the ones in charge of the knights

How can I communicate what I’ve seen through my eyes tonight?

Blue can only be true when red is dead

But when both are alive what should be said?

I blow out the air more aware than ever

And I make a Universe right there

How can I communicate what I’ve seen through my eyes tonight?

To speak a word divides the World

Why should I communicate what I’ve seen through my eyes tonight?

Yeah

Oh, why should I communicate what I’ve seen through my eyes tonight?

The things I’ve seen tonight…

I used to walk through time ‘til I realised it flows through me

I used to be so small ‘til I realised that I am it all

Be aware and you’ll see

Open your eyes and let it be

All we believe to have meaning has been a colourful journey to death

Oh, tomorrow rules over all of us but does he ever show up?

Oh, we needed some meaning when we were scared and lost, and were not ready for LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

When I was stuck in the dark ‘cause I had fallen deeply in love with a fantasy that I made up, the clouds came tearing apart

I knew where I’d gone wrong

It wasn’t what I should’ve done

I mistook him for a dream

And now I see reality

Oh, we need to lose meaning and leave ourselves behind to soak in all of the LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

I’m on a colourful journey
