No Other

There is no other
A life that breeds meaning, is willing to live
No lasting knowledge
Just turning his fancy thoughts in another
We put his portrait on the wall
So he could watch us all
In the tug of war, in the lovers dance
They put the writing on the wall
We didn't know
What the film would make of me
We didn't know
What was required of us
What it would
To a young world's paradise
It makes me wonder
Whose eyes are on this alien ring
The ones that pray and
Only the fooling on
I'm seeing the writing all around
And in the grey sky
I finally see what is unsaid
Who else was I?
