The Brazen Youth - Figure in the Field

There's a figure in the field
and she signals me outside
and so I walk through the road
and I meet her by the streetlight
and then she leads me to the beach
and we sit there for a while
but when the sun climbs the sky
she leaves me for the moonlight

So I walk back inside

To find you waiting there
but only on my screen
To find you sitting there
but only digitally
Then my head slowly comes apart
and all the thoughts that I've locked up
fly away from me
deep into the evergreens

away from all the masks
away from all the traps
that have kept them so concealed
that have kept them in a jail cell

And you are not a figure
and you are not a flicker
You are the daylight
but you exist inside this plastic night

And you can love me if you want
unlike the other ones
you generate your own thoughts
And you can be happy if you want
just don't hesitate so much
