I Hope This Will Be Strange

My thoughts are falling down the stairs out my head and then cascading away I hurl myself after them trying to keep up but just end up a heap This is all so predictable so formulaic and pedestrian This mould needs breaking reforging in the fires of Asgard or some such shit So I pray for the unexplored clamour for discovery gods deliver me from mediocrity I have had my fill Launch me straight into the arms of Morpheus Let me sleep let me let myself sleep Or at least trick myself into letting go And catching a few hours Let me dream sweet lucid haven where possibilities are endless Spare me from routine deliver me to wonder And the boy repeats over and over I hope this will be strange I want to bring about change I hope this will be strange Oh P4 you daft wee boy Be careful what you wish for He paid no heed to the doubt and went forth Heart open and naive losing sleep over what to believe I hope this will be strange I've been here before I'm pretty sure I've opened every door Didn't like what I saw But I went through them anyway Here I'll stay Fumbling and stumbling I'll find my way And it was strange and marvellous and terrifying all at once and years apart Times incessant march swing your head to the baton or pendulum Or add an extra beat at the start How can you know if you don't try like really know? How can you know yourself if you don't make the hard choices? Do you know who you are? Do you know who you want to be? You made your own cage set yourself free But the weird and the different are too tempting to me Don't you see? I'm sorry I don't know that one I'm sorry P4 I'm so- I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm s I'm sorry I'm sorry P4 I only ever wanted to help It was the other humans They wouldn't stop Stop Stop! I falter at the threshold Same stories retold I hope this will be strange This time I'll be bold I hope this will be strange I hope this will be strange I've been here before I hope this will be strange I'm pretty sure I opened every door I hope this will be strange But I didn't like what I saw I hope this will be strange I hope this will be strange I want to bring about change Here I'll stay I hope this will be strange Stumbling and finding my way I hope this will be strange But I falter at the threshold So you did get here in a way You just took the longer route You got here a little later but better equipped Maybe now we can get this done Ready? (I hope this will be strange) Ready (I hope this will be strange) This time I'll be bold I hope this will be strange I hope this will be strange I hope this will be strange
