Kai bd – all the rest

I think the house here is infected with that abstract disease, I think the whole area is. I’m not, you see. Sometimes when I ask, they don’t want me to get out.
I miss my house in the East Side…but I can’t forget the stress, the big flames that devastated the whole neighborhood and reduced my house to ashes. I believe it was a riot, but they don’t tell me. They just moved me here, they say it’s safe…but I’m afraid!
I don’t see much of my friends anymore. I only see that little baby girl and I see her when I sleep. The doctors think that it’s me, that baby girl, but I can not see that. They say… I’m sleeping with my eyes open, though, I think they mean deranged.
These people would not talk to you! They wouldn’t talk to me.
They walk around with damaged souls; they do not own their thoughts!
I take those drugs they give me, though I still don’t understand.
It’s logic drugs. They say. But I still sleep with my eyes open!

Time…some say, the fourth dimension, time, maybe fractions
Of strange existence of some other…Time

Take me to the place where time is coming from
Were life is everything but what it seems.
The ground zero of the whole
Were the obvious is put against the wall
Take me to the place where time let beauty be
In a different state of purity
Forming into shapes that has no names
With colors that eyes have yet not seen
Take me to the place where the giant lives
To look him in the eyes and then sleep
To wake up in my wish and to remember…
Where time is coming from.
