lyrics

I wanted to go to bedroom
but went to the wrong floor
I crossed a little hall
and found a door

It was locked so I looked through the little window
and I saw him, so elegant
with a smile he looked at me
and then he said
“why don’t you come near me?
I’ll show you how things could be
the door is open now
come to know your future and your past”

and I opened the door
I was toothy, petrified
He chewed a little ham
with a hammer in his hand
It’s a dangerous game, you could die or be born and get brighter than a firefly
Are you sure you want to know?
For the rest of your life

He gave me a white page
and said: read it maestro
Words came to my mind:
“Dump your ballast, sink and fly now”

I’ m sinking, I’m sinking, I’m sinking down…

I couldn’t believe my eyes
I was sinking through the ocean
Naked in the water
Frozen by the sharks

I was down, it was dark really cold, I was sure that I wouldn’t breath any more
I chewed the little ham
Taken from his sleeve

I breathed anew
Born on a new sign
I had to reach
the ultimate depths of the ocean

A light still shining, on the wrong floor
An old man is waiting to reverse time
Playing chess with pawns that look so much
like you and me and him sinking
