What coloured points to follow the orange or the blue

The entrance and the payment and the walk to the pharmacy

The dude that is controlling shakes his head on me
B G#m F#
He says to get in here I still need to test me free
F#
So I cry come please let me in anyway
Cause I’ve been waiting for that appointment for over quite some time
Understanding he nods and then gets the admission right along
Inside baby moms and dads and lots of old people too
The injured sick and dead and all the in between

In the waiting room no windows but a TV everybody sees

Some letter of that after life to spell

Shell lure you back to cancel half a line

Now all your tears wash out the words of it

In the dark Ferrash strives to prepare it for another guest
The vine has struck a fibre which about
If clings my being let the Derwish flout
And the first morning of creation I wrote what the last dawn I read
So not one returns to tell us of the road we must go
Which to discover we must travel there too
Strange is it not that of the myriads who
Before us past these hallways of the unknown through?
The revelation and default I learn
Devotion first until disappointment burns
It’s all but stories that I invent from nothing
I tell my fellows and then right home I return
Why If my soul can fling all of the dusty stuff aside?
And naked on the air of heaven right tonight
A message from that after life to spell
Shell lure you back to cancel half a line
Now all your tears wash out the words of it
In the dark Ferrash strives to prepare it for another guest
The vine has struck a fibre which about
If clings my being let the Derwish flout
And the first morning of creation I wrote what the last dawn I read
That she who subtly wrought me into shape
Shell stamp me back to shapeless earth again
A vessel in an after rage destroyed
I never know where I am in the pain or how much longer I have to go
