See me - hear me - touch me - confirm me

As I watched my image in the mirror
I saw wrinkles around my eyes
-"I have never see 'em before"...
I said to myself while continuing to shave off yesterdays bristles.
I did this every morning.
I even had a note by the window that said :-"Shave your bristles".
But the fact is that the whole room was filled with notes of what I should do and when...

The note by the window was written on green paper.
Green was and still is my favorite colour
Time have though faded the lustre but I don't mind.
The note has still great value for me
It is what a bible is for others.
And earlier this morning when I looked out through the window
I was reminded - God I love green

Free as a bird, Untouched unheard

Often I hear voices from the people in the corridor but I don't care
Why should I? Or should I?
Once I cried out -"Hello?" but no one answered.
No, I think it's best that I just leave them alone.
I have so much to do like painting the blockhead... green

Free as a bird, Untouched unheard

See me - hear me - touch me - confirm me

I like to do different things from the pieces of wood
wich I collect when they take me out.
I have carved several people from the pieces
and they all have a name.
They're all part of my family now
Jesse, James and the others.
They all have one thing in common
