The ceiling presses heavy,
Townshend keeps the room alive.
But power-chorded music,
Only keeps my eyes aglow.
Ignoring words of wisdom,
Falling from my burdened shelves.
Flapping printed pages.
Life and truth and death and lies.
All I feel is sorrow,
Watching leather bindings fall.
All I know is nothing,
But then again nothing is all.
Hold me when I’m crying,
Scold me when I’m lying
But leave me when I’m dying,
I’ll do the same for you.
So Peter sing your anthems,
Let me know I’m still in tune.
Let me count the volumes,
Strewn about the study floor.
Let me go on writing,
Binding my rejection slips.
Now the shelves are empty.
Waiting for my book of life.
All I feel is sorrow,
Watching leather bindings fall.
All I know is nothing,
But then again nothing is all.
