|
I've seen you flying high |
|
Chasing clouds in the sky |
|
Such a broad horizon |
|
Your gray wings spread wide |
|
Over unknown regions |
|
With changing winds they ride |
|
Greedy eyes scan the surface |
|
Laughing at us earthbound souls |
|
But as you grab for too much |
|
You can't help it, your ivory tower falls |
|
And now you've hit the ground |
|
Aimlessly crawling around |
|
I know what you believed |
|
To be (more worth than anything) |
|
I see that you've become |
|
Just like me (or anyone else in here) |
|
As you stand before me |
|
Bare feet on stony ground |
|
Is there nothing more to lose? |
|
Or is there something you've found? |
|
What made you so sure that |
|
You're someone who never fails? |
|
How could you avoid thorns |
|
If leaving the old, used road |
|
For solitary, narrow ways? |
|
Just swear you won't give up |
|
Mind your steps but never stop |
|
I know what you believed |
|
To be (more worth than anything) |
|
I see that you've become just like me |
|
(Or anyone else inside these walls of sanity) |
|
You are only scraping ground level now |
|
Will you try to escape or will you hide somehow? |
|
To sweep the dirt of others |
|
With your precious hands |
|
Could you be a servant |
|
With a will that never bends? |
|
(It's right behind the line |
|
But you're running out of time) |
|
Astonished I look at you |
|
'Cause I see my shell |
|
So I close my eyes and deep inside |
|
All I sense in myself is you |
|
Well, I know what you believed |
|
To be (more worth than anything) |
|
I see that you've become just like me |
|
(Or anyone else inside these walls of sanity) |
|
You are only scraping ground level now |
|
Will you try to escape or will you hide somehow? |
|
To sweep the dirt of others |
|
With your precious hands |
|
Could you be a servant |
|
With a will that never bends? |
|
So you're only scraping ground level now |
|
Will you lick your wounds |
|
Or continue somehow? |
|
Will you dry your tears, |
|
Will you wash your hands |
|
Before you're in too deep down? |
|
I hope you understand |
|
(It's right behind the line |
|
But you're running out of time) |
|
(Life's right behind the line |
|
But you're running out of time) |
