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
o
p
e
l
e
s
s
l
y
in
love
with
you,
in a
world where love
has
no
more
meaning
or
value.
