The Lie
7/2/12
There’s no ceiling
In this world I walk so freely in
Like a balloon let loose
But, just to get snagged in wire
And lose my helium
I’m a prisoner of my words
In this self-fulfilling prophecy
My feet have forsaken me
While my minds fleeting
And my hearts asleep
And if you really carried me
I wish you would’ve just set me down
Given me no way to turn around
Cause I’ve always felt a partner
With the ground
And because everything is relevant
Including the best of me
Lest it be to rot on
In my festering destiny
Of who the hell knows
And to question it - why?
If we really get down to real size
I’m just a worm in the dirt
Eat shit and die
I’ll embrace the rain
And hide from the sunlight
And isn’t that the life?
You tell me
Get the F out of there!
Then you’ll be absolutely right
