Helium Is The Ultimate High

What is HOPE
but a dreamers
way out

No responsibility
trail & error
the test of humanity

Now go out there
make a change
quit pinning all on
"Yes-ter-day"

I've got my own life
to live TODAY
HOPES & WISHES
washed out in the rain

I watched it change through the window
it seemed to me a shiny new version
where I had it all figured out
but, it's all the same shit
I've always had

As you see I operate somewhere
between illusion and reality

At times...
I thought it was all
too much to take
and now awake
It's still a dream

Too bad you had to
remember me
our dreams got crossed
somewhere around here and there

Take time
become silence
it's a hellish drift
of knowing the difference
between the door
and the whore

Who said she'd give you
the key to find your way back
from today

he knew we were already so far

we lost time
somewhere down the hole
and chose to stay

our playground in the sun
was self-made
who could ever take it away?

~~Never heard or read this before... I found this after I shared this~~

"Where were you when I was burned and broken? While the days slipped by from my window watching? Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless? Because the things you say and the things you do surround me while you were hanging yourself on someone else's words. Dying to believe in what you heard. I was staring straight into the shining sun. Lost in thought and lost in time. While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted. Outside the rain fell dark and slow. While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime. I took a heavenly ride through our silence. I knew the moment had arrived. For killing the past and coming back to life. I took a heavenly ride through our silence. I knew the waiting had begun and headed straight . . . into the shining sun" (david gilmour)
