Do you know why I have to die young?

‘Cause I am too free to live long.

‘Cause I am a dreamer

and this world

suffocates

the

dreamers.

‘Cause it is in my nature to

s

h

a

t

t

e

r

i   l   l  u     s        i  o  n     s,

and most people need their illusions

whole

and

comforting.

‘Cause I am hopelessly in love with You.

‘Cause my blood, it seems,

is necessary

for

the replenishment

of hope

in

the

world.

‘Cause you don’t always

reap what you

saw.

‘Cause I speak and my words

stinnnnn g

(For I speak so that Tomorrow might listen).

‘Cause I am hopelessly in love with You.

‘Cause this is the will of

the Father,

the Mother

(not too virginal anymore)

and the Holy Jinn

deep

with

in.

‘Cause I am not just another bastard

son.

(Hell, I am even quite legitimate).

‘Cause neither prophets,

nor poets,

nor

decent

pious

folk

could ever have

the same vision I

h

a

v

e.

‘Cause I am hopelessly in love with You.

‘Cause I am not meek enough to

in

herit

the

Earth

(or the wind, for that matter).

‘Cause my nightmares are excruciatingly real,

(and I

embrace

all of them).

‘Cause I am not of this world.

Do you understand?

I have never been

of

this

world.

‘Cause I am hopelessly in love with You.

Yes.

I am

h

s

s

y

in love

with you,

in a world where love

has

no

more

meaning

or

value.
