I am a man and here I am
full of love, color and anger
tall I stand ready to hit the shore
what kind of land I am in for
I do not know
I threw the map away a long time ago
sailing the mighty oceans
hitting land after too many mouthfuls of salty water
I`m here to conquer not just to go ashore
maybe I`ll find someone to love
apart from whom I`ve faced in the mirror
each and every day of this voyage
my feet on dry land and sand between my toes
I set fire to my ship and push it back out to sea
perhaps another mistake, I do not know
what I came here to find
might be hidden in between the lines
in the logbook I never wrote
I look around as I lie down on the beach
watching my ship sink as it passes the reef
where are the ones I was supposed to conquer
am I all alone
draped in loneliness
all over again
the darkness of the night
soon cast shadows over my sleeping, weary soul
and left my lonely thoughts astray
in my dreams I saw it all
the eyes of the perfect stranger
finally looked my way
everything was in a perfect sense of order
puffy clouds, butterflies and sunsets into forevermore
waking up on the cold and lonely beach
the eyes of the perfect stranger
is nowhere within sight
and my mirror is all but gone
head down in the sand
looking up into the bluest of skies
a fogfilled brain ready to surrender
whatever happens to me
happens to me
where are the eyes of my perfect stranger
