Gulliver's Traum

Giant == The The

The sun is high
& I'm surrounded by sand
for as far as my eyes can see.
I'm strapped into a rockin' chair
with a blanket over my knees.

'I' - am a stranger to myself
& nobody knows I'm here.
When I looked into my face
it wasn't myself I'd seen
but who I've tried to be.

I'm thinking of things I'd hoped to forget
I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
& turned all of my friends into enemies
& now the past has returned to haunt me.

I'm scared of god & scared of hell
& I'm caving in upon myself.
I'm scared of god & scared of hell
& I'm caving in upon myself.

How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
How can anyone know me
When I don't even know myself?
