Unchanged

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Let me reconsider
Or recapture
All those moments passing by
At length not more than 
Just a fleeting notion
That only I do judge
As an important scenery

It hurts
I think
But does it really?
I cannot reconvince myself
Now that there's so much left to do

Resist the momentary desire
To make it a worthwhile experience
Turn that sound, if out of tune
Into a fragment, which alone
Is more than heavy rain in midst of June

Don't stop me now
Don't ever do 
I'll take you there
Where angels meet
And devils lead
Most of us astray

Sustain the tension
For one more minute
One more line to let us reach
All the things yet unachieved
All the things we do not need

Then let it fade
And falter
Leave us an empty space to think about
The freedom you just gave us
The smile born to betray us
Another day to make it through

Unchanged
We try to lose our mind
For small amounts of wasted time
To say that we are different
Claim that we have changed
And deep within do realize
Everything's
Unchanged

Don't stop me now
Don't ever do
I'll build a place
Where we can meet
And lead those angels
And their devils
Well astray
