Deep Lush Improv

Once upon a time, long ago

Lived a cold heart, trying not to let go

Dreaming rivers of words with endless flow

Thought it was freedom with nowhere to go

Gonna tell you a secret

He was never there

He was never there.

You could find him, undermine him,

Let your criticism warp beside him, justify him,

Take his voice away and make him silent.

Got no money, but got science,

And the fists of teachers struck like giants.

Gonna tell you a secret,

He was never there.

He was never there

Lost in a pageant

Passing the days away

Roses from every place

Gon' tell you a secret

He was never there

He was never there

Wrestling with demons, normal freedoms

These took away the joy of all the seasons

Called for help but no one could see him

Ran away, no one could see him

And in the emptiness, thought drugs would feed him

Friends were dying, took away the reasons

Don't tell you a secret

He was never there

He was never there

And thought that love was like films full of romance

No need for second chance

Heart was pure and scars were dancing

To the tunes of questions without answers

Left in thought that takes like cancer

End of story, end of chapter

Don't tell you a secret

He was never there

He was never there.

Once upon a time long ago

Lived a cold, cold heart

Not trying to let go

We're dreaming rivers of worth

With endless flow

We're gonna tell you a secret

He was never there
