Permutations

Another familiar accident changes where I call home

The thing that I needed the most was to simply be alone

Away from the Baltimore winter and trying to maintain

Quiet and calm disposition despite a heart in pain

So I look to stars and I look to the sea

And I look to the faces on the street

And I look to the sky and I look to the moon

And I look to the future as it blooms

I watched a birth of a minute, an hour and a year

But how the days turn to ribbons of time still seems unclear

Watch how an instinct gets changed into wrinkles, pain and death

Watch all my memories collect as I take a final breath

So I look to stars and I look to the sea

And I look to the faces on the street

And I look to the sky and I look to the moon

And I look to the future as it blooms

And as it blooms here

Somewhere else breaks

The world is always half asleep and half awake

And when it aches here

Somewhere else blooms

The light I see reflected off the darkest moon

So I look to stars and I look to the sea

And I look to the faces on the street

And I look to the sky and I look to the moon

And I look to the future as it blooms
