[00:17.890]The night sets softly
[00:19.050]
[00:19.690]With the hush of falling leaves
[00:21.360]
[00:24.690]Casting shivering shadows
[00:27.040]On the houses through the trees
[00:29.800]
[00:32.170]And the light from a street lamp
[00:34.200]Paints a pattern on my wall
[00:37.490]
[00:39.230]Like the pieces of a puzzle
[00:41.340]Or a child's uneven scrawl
[00:45.110]
[00:47.560]Up a narrow flight of stairs
[00:49.370]In a narrow little room
[00:54.180]As I lie upon my bed
[00:56.480]In the early evening gloom
[00:59.950]
[01:01.800]Impaled on my wall
[01:03.610]My eyes can dimly see
[01:07.510]
[01:08.980]The pattern of my life
[01:10.290]
[01:10.850]And the puzzle that is me
[01:13.350]
[01:16.910]From the moment of my birth
[01:18.800]To the instant of my death
[01:20.420]
[01:23.580]There are patterns I must follow
[01:25.760]Just as I must breathe each breath
[01:28.120]
[01:30.820]Like a rat in a maze
[01:32.760]The path before me lies
[01:35.170]
[01:37.870]And the pattern never alters
[01:39.220]
[01:39.730]Until the rat dies
[01:42.750]
[02:02.310]And the pattern still remains
[02:04.000]On the wall where darkness fell
[02:07.750]
[02:09.030]And it's fitting that it should
[02:11.000]For in darkness I must dwell
[02:14.650]
[02:15.930]Like the color of my skin
[02:18.030]Or the day that I grow old
[02:20.930]
[02:23.060]My life is made of patterns
[02:25.000]That can scarcely be controlled
[02:27.500]
