Before The Rain - Paragraph lyrics

Time unfolds like unconscious writing A universe of words Gathered by the fragile consistence of paper A godlike creative process Soliloquy and solemn I slept while thunderous waterfalls Flooded narrow sidewalks The nervebreaking silence seemed a distant relic When dragonflies used to enjoy The kindness of fading lullabies I slept while in the hills Cities clashed for an obsolete reason Betrayal and treason I slept while thunderous waterfalls Came washing over those who lingered Hopelessly regarding the marvels of self-demise What other reason could you otherwise Imagine? I do not wish to be history s typist I wish to be it s writer, not a mere spectator And to command a rebellion of stars A discreet, yet powerful seduction A thespian savoir-faire for whom may learn to dare How to conceal such discipline
