|
I stood as tall as a mountain |
|
I never really thought about the drop |
|
I trod over rocks to get there |
|
Just so i could stand on top |
|
Clumsy and blind i stumbled |
|
As i crawled through desert sands |
|
I didn't stop to think about the consequences |
|
As it came to pieces in my hands |
|
I thought i was a maritime marvel |
|
I believed that i ruled the waves |
|
All i could say is time is motion |
|
And every effort others made i would save |
|
I was a shit stained statue |
|
School children would stand in awe |
|
Truly believed i was a ceiling of sky |
|
Never thought about having flaws |
|
I felt as reverent as jesus |
|
The sanctimony stunk |
|
I thought i was admiral of the missing fleet |
|
I couldn't see that i was sunk |
|
I roared my pride in the darkness |
|
I scratched away at the stars |
|
I thought i was lord of this crappy jungle |
|
I should have been put behind bars |
|
But now i sit with my head in my hands |
|
And wail to the weeping wall |
|
The avalanche of my emotions |
|
Holds the audience of one enthralled |
|
Like learning the lesson the hard way |
|
Like a fall from command |
|
I thought i as king of the whole wide world |
|
But it just came to pieces in my hands |
