As the ground freezes beneath me
I walk on top the water and make perfection look too easy
It needs me, I need it, it's a match made in make believe
Maybe we can make a path that shines a light on shaded streets
Torch scorching while I carry it
Can't hang? Then hang yourself like Jesus did Iscariot
Barely lit wick, watch it switch to a forest fire
Now it's furnace to the furniture that makes the poor retire
I'm tired... No I'm not, I nominate myself
To be the most wide awake zombie waiting for the bell
Ring it... I'll put a ring on mother nature's knuckles
Only she if promises to melt the snowy days I've shoveled
Put the water in the pot
And let it boil into steam until the particles are lost
I'd like to think a sunny day could last forever
But what's a student learning from a teacher when it lectures?
Think about it now...
I've been looking up a lot lately, crazy how we coincide
Inside a solar system where the sun decides who grows and dies
Dammit... If God planned the planets
Why the hell are we the only ones that got his ten commandments?
They tell us that we're special... until we reach maturity
And then the specialty becomes a source of insecurity
It doesn't make currency, currently... Quit before you fall behind
God forbid, you find yourself when family thinks you've lost your mind
My time is when time is way more important
Than pouring out your potential to pay it off with a fortune
My time is when man is no longer animal
And on that day that happens, I'll return from my sabbatical
Put the water in the pot
And let it boil into steam until the particles are lost
I'd like to think a sunny day could last forever
But what's a student learning from a teacher when it lectures?
Think about it now...
I'd like to do something immaculate while I'm on top the earth
Maybe build a tower tall enough to find out what I'm worth
Maybe dig a tunnel deep enough to see what's underneath
Or maybe I'll just stand and see how far my arms can truly reach
Look at me... I can sit upon a throne with the best of them
But first, I gotta throw stones at giants when they step in sin
Had some big shoes to fill until my feet grew
And now I'm looking down on thunderstorms that I can speak through
Stop it... I might be microscopic
Still I stand beside a mountain and my instinct is to chop it
Right beside my reach is every wish that I could dream for
And if I saw it all, I'd probly wish that I could see more...
If I just kept looking
Put the water in the pot
And let it boil into steam until the particles are lost
I'd like to think a sunny day could last forever
But what's a student learning from a teacher when it lectures?
Think about it now...
