Future Kingdom
If it had to happen
Did it have to happen on a weekday
Before the sunrise when
My eyes fail me in dreams and waking both
So close to the same thing these days
When the floor was thumping
And the tea bag pumping
And something burning in the pan
The plan suddenly hits me full to see
And it's me not just flowing along with the stream
It's me not just helping clean
I try to stay passive and seem serene
But the effort is massive
I've put in to gain your esteem
And here's me
Front and center and guilty and mean
If it had to break down
Did it have to break down chemically
Every molecule deciding to be free
But what can freedom be when we
We insist upon our right to fight and sting
And live conquering
I'd rather be enslaved by love for everyone
Down the barrel of a gun
Than cling to liberty
And witness endless suffering around me
Surround glee with selfish choices
And hellish noises like an infant
An instant's all it takes to separate
A life of empty freedom
From our common future kingdom
Did it have to happen on a weekday
Before the sunrise when
My eyes fail me in dreams and waking both
So close to the same thing these days
When the floor was thumping
And the tea bag pumping
And something burning in the pan
The plan suddenly hits me full to see
And it's me not just flowing along with the stream
It's me not just helping clean
I try to stay passive and seem serene
But the effort is massive
I've put in to gain your esteem
And here's me
Front and center and guilty and mean
If it had to break down
Did it have to break down chemically
Every molecule deciding to be free
But what can freedom be when we
We insist upon our right to fight and sting
And live conquering
I'd rather be enslaved by love for everyone
Down the barrel of a gun
Than cling to liberty
And witness endless suffering around me
Surround glee with selfish choices
And hellish noises like an infant
An instant's all it takes to separate
A life of empty freedom
From our common future kingdom
