|
I've got to climb to the top |
|
Never stop, until I reach it |
|
Until I feel that I'm good |
|
And that I'm in control |
|
Of life and my thought |
|
When I'm not, I still preach it |
|
Because they're all going to see |
|
if I start to fall or lose control. |
|
I'm losing control...of this |
|
I've been balancing on suspended pianos |
|
And trying to appear composed |
|
It makes the loudest noise when they begin to crash |
|
With eyes on me, I force a laugh |
|
You come to me and set me free |
|
I cross arms across my chest |
|
This is not a gift I can accept |
|
But I appreciate the sentiment |
|
I've worked too hard for rightousness |
|
To just lay down while you hand me this |
|
And put my faith in something you call grace...from you. |
|
I've been lost inside a cave without a lantern |
|
At every sound I start to run |
|
I feel my way around the dark without a pattern |
|
If I would wait you'd come |
|
to rescue me and show the way |
|
I cross arms across my chest |
|
This is not a gift I can accept |
|
But I appreciate the sentiment |
|
I've worked too hard for rightousness |
|
To just lay down while you hand me this |
|
And put my faith in something you call grace...from you. |
|
[from you] |
|
I've been trying to learn what is from you. |
|
Because I've been trying to earn what is freely given. |
|
Every sound that you |
|
Try to just refuse |
|
Does it give and take? |
|
Keeps it in my face |
|
And tell me that this blood |
|
Was shed in vain. |
