The Gentle Zombie


Maybe we could do this without words
​I'll be every sound you've ever heard
​Round the garden, closer to the earth
​You'll find me here at the end of the world

​I don't know what anything's about
​​A speckled dot without a word to say
​​My intentions phase back in and out
​​Shifting without thinking every day

​​I'll be here for you
​​When the shadows come again
​​In the afternoon
​​It's so hard to be undead

​​Can i pick your brains
​​For a new way out of here
​​It's not that i'm afraid
​​I'm just scared that i'm not real

​​I'm about to run away again
​​Studies show that i could make a friend
​​Research indicates that it's all right
​​Statistically, i might see you tonight

​​I'm way too many standard deviations from what i mean
​​The maths is clear: i don't say anything that isn't nonsense
​​And at the moment i can't find it in real life
​So i'm dreaming... just for a while

​​And all the people waiting in the wings
​Don't care if i fly or if i sink
​It's about that time at Greenwich hall
​We're about to risk it all
