    I will sail full throttle

    On a broken ship inside a bottle

    Wisps of smog and smoke come from the caudal

    Darkness is the only sound I hear



    A sea of red circles emanate all of their love

    Telling me that I’m truly a part of

    Their laughing-time games and rides above

    Kill my pain and take away my fear



    Chariots of silver and stallions of gold

    In purple nights of new and orange days of old

    On ice-blue waves what’s to behold

    Warming myself in the snow



    In the misty summer showers

    I see the green plastic flowers

    And for a thousand hours

    I sit and watch them grow



    With lucid visions of a garden

    I try and beg the maiden’s pardon

    As the sky above me hardens

    I see her fingertips glow



    I dance around the yellow sun

    I look round for people to share my fun

    And when I see that there is none,

    I then sit down and cry



    But when I get back down to earth

    I witness my own death and rebirth

    And so I run along the narrow firth

    And never again wonder why



    I never before seen the light

    Shine so brightly than on this night

    So I take it in with all my might

    That this all is really real



    My eyes have been lifted from the veil

    With truth of color without lies of pale

    And so this is the end of my tale

    But the beginning is all I feel

    beautiful, but at the end should that be "tale" instead of "tail?"
