No more than a cardboard stage No struggle for an answer A line for you to sell And no matter what may change Treat your questions like a cancer and In time you'll hide your burden well Make me believe it's not make-believe Incentive to justify all of this longing inside My parasol Shield from the falling Sky that I envision is nigh
Standing by the water's edge
And weighing all my options
To leave behind what has brought me ashore
Trying in vain to hedge
Whispering a word of caution
The raft is swept to sea forever more...
(Make me believe it's not make-believe incentive to justify all of this longing inside...)
...And you're still there, tearfully I wave farewell
Our paths divide, no use to hide our despair
(Hallucinated protection, Natural Parasol, save us all from despair)
