Look Around

Under an open sky

On a busy road

Withdraw into myself

But laughing out loud

Movements are slowing down

Until all is standing still

Waters compress to ice

And colours disappear

Look around

For the one who tries to touch me

Look around

For the one who dares to step into my eyes

Will somebody ever hear me?

Look around

I see people talking without a sound

Profuse apologies

For chattering rants

Effectively meaningless

Without any regrets

Travelling around the world

The fortunate ones

Gambling about dynasties

Losing at all, losing all they have

All the one who tries to touch me

Look around

For the one who dares to step into my eyes

Will somebody ever hear me

Look around

I see people talking without a sound

Oh, for the one who tries to touch me

Look around

For the one who dares to step into my eyes

Will somebody ever hear me

Look around

I see people talking without a sound

Everything goes up and down

And then it turns around
