lyrics

What have you got to reach the mountain's top?
My ideas in my head start to rot.
(brittle as a rock that's riddled with the rot, now)
Vision's grey, the sky is too above.
Panicked fingers scramble for the fun.


Do you feel I’m asking you
to do too much for me by waiting
at the bottom to see?
I am so damn sorry
when I cannot worry
about what you are feeling
when I'm so high,
man, I could fly.


The world breathes, that's what I believe.
We all see its heaving chest bounce free
in and around the waves of the sea.
I see the world as it breathes;
I feel it trembling before me.


What does it take to be a man who's got
words spoken; a heart unbroken in love?
The eyes of a nation rise and circle large
when an irritated family will barrage you.


Do you not get why I'm up here?
I am so damn tired
of spending all my time obtuse!
In this whirling conscious wind
atop the mountain peaks,
I’m so afraid to be alone
but I'm not alone, am I?


I never asked you to be anywhere
but now I slip when you’re not there at all.
It's so worthwhile;
it's you (the wind whispers to me; lingers in my ear).


The world breathes,
a skin of brown and green.
We'd all be a little lost if we
let down our crown to rust beneath the sea.
I feel the world as it breathes,
and it is trembling with fury.


The world breathes, that's what I believe.
We all see its heaving chest bounce free
in and around the waves of the sea.
I see the world as it breathes
when just your face would do for me.
