lyrics

To enjoy is not enough.
I desire something else.
I have all I need, but I desire something else.
I play with the world,
I know how to enjoy myself.
to move...
to make motion from nowhere
just like the wind.
This motion I've pushed is also movement
I'm in.
The Playing itself.
I know how to be happy,
but I desire something else.

I take from the world,
enjoying its fruit, the sweet juice
of delight.
I touch and taste to feed
this love of life.

I make play of my needs
and take what's not mine,
to make more out of me.
to enjoy myself.
I know how to be happy,
but I desire something else.
I have all I need
but I desire something else.

Here I am, naked, with nothing but
the world I live from.
It's there for the taking, I am embodied
to find taste for my tongue.
In this earth I am bathing, reverting in
its difference into my love.
I'm always learning and playing,
mainly for nothing there's never enough.

The playing itself.
I know how to be happy
but I desire something else.
I have all I need,
but I desire something else...
