#94 Space - The Space Inside

I'm always kind of amused, whenever I find myself on stage.

Of all the emotions I feel, it's never fear or rage

I never want to strike out. I never want to hide

Just a curiosity. To find out what is inside.



See, I'm placed here before you all today.

All 6tf1 of post-teenage angst and decay

All of you see me, standing right here

All of you waiting for me. And I don't fear



See, some people get stage fright, that was never my scene

Others get an audience in sight and shout words that're obscene

I've known a man or two who sees a crowd and loves the attention

But my reaction is one that's just of my own invention



You are all sitting down there, trying to make a decision

What sort of person I am, am I worthy of derision

What am I saying, thinking, and about to do

Here's what you don't realise: I'm deciding the same about you



See, my own dull mind is the only one I know

It's quite spacious in there, it's not a fun place to go

But other people's minds? That's a wholly different tale

So leave me some breadcrumbs and I'll follow your trail



What are all of you odd little creatures thinking of in the space behind your eyes

What images are playing, what is the purpose which causes you to rise

How do you think? How do you see colours? How do you do?

If I see a thing do you see the same thing too?



Do you really think behind those eyes, or are you just put here to deceive me

But mostly what I want to know is are you willing to receive me

As a performer, after all I'm up here on stage to put on a show

So what I really want to know, is should I stay or should I go?
