I Am Lyrics - Anthem - Toyah

My fingers are grass 

My tongue the asp 

My town a burial mound 

My eyes are jewels 

My ears hear tools 

put them down 

My feet are wings 

My body sings 

Without a sound 

Eyes of blind ignorance 

See a world of despair 

Mountains of man 

Hide cities too deep 

Cool dark graves where bodies creep 

My nose is sharp 

it cuts the glass 

And then I escape 

My back is flat 

Off the beaten track 

am a landscape 

am at peace 

The feeling's neat 

Then suddenly I awake 

Eyes of blind ignorance 

See a world of despair 

Mountains of man 

Hide cities too deep 

Cool dark graves where bodies creep 

am a waterfall 

come tumbling 

tumbling 

tumbling down 

Into infinity 

journey to the sea 

rain through leaves and trees 

On beggars and thieves 

On fools that grieve 

But I am 

I am 

I am 

stand at my window 

Wind and moonlight 

Fire my hair 

touch the glass 

It can't be seen 

But it's always there 

I'm told I'm free 

And I believe 

Four walls imprison me 

Eyes of blind ignorance 

See a world of despair 

Mountains of man 

Hide cities too deep 

Cool dark graves where bodies creep 

My fingers are numb 

My tongue is blunt 

am only me 

My eyes are shallow 

My ears hollow 

am only me 

My feet are still 

I'm unfulfilled 

am only me 

My head's a bed 

It feels like lead 

My mind's totally free 

must sleep 

am 

must sleep 

am 

must sleep 

am 

must sleep to dream 

am
