It's been a long time since I had a simple mind
But I'm doing alright, I swear I just like to think
The more time I spend on my own, the more I can search
The dark horizon beyond the scenes right in front of me
I don't care but they do and they always interfere with me
And still they're asking me what it is you think you see
I can't see clearly the forms and the faces
'Cause maybe the distance decreased as the years cling on
If I said how I'm doing right now, what would I know?
It swirls in front of me, I know I'm on my own
If you try to chase answers, a gust of wind as it slips away
It's always old fashioned and it never stays
I can't see clearly the forms and the faces
'Cause maybe the distance decreased as the years cling on
And the machine tugs at its blood vessels
Gears are grinding, you wish it well
Horns are sounding like some forgotten name
If I were to answer you, I'd say I feel the same
I can't see clearly the forms and the faces
'Cause maybe the distance decreased as the years cling on
