Rising through the everyday echelons
They stack up too tall
For a mortal man
A man of every season
Hit the top
But the peak is so far off
A new layer is laid down
It knocks your head off of your shoulders
Shoulda told ya
Cause I seen it
Time and time again
The ones so puffed up will soon meet the end
It pulls up like a brick wall
Drivin' with no handbrake
Gotta take your fate in one bite then you swallow it
But there's another way
The method's far out of reach from my book of plays
So I just turn the page, skip past all the footnotes
Run it all down
Head out the house with a blindfold
Just spark a flame up
Snuff it out before it's too hot
You wouldn't want believers gettin' hectic
Catch a flame in the palm of my hand
Turn away, keep it safe
But the safety only stifles the need for more
For more
The flame always reaches for more
Just spark a flame up
Snuff it out before it's too hot
You wouldn't want believers gettin' hectic
Catch a flame in the palm of my hand
Turn away, keep it safe
But the safety only stifles the need for more
For more
The flame always reaches for more
Some more days fade by
The erosion shaves away a facade
Gleaming stones of the week
They bleed into the sky
Leaking out before I could catch the bottle
They gather and blend into my nightmares
Time runs thin, I know I've been much better than before
But the drain is so inviting
Head back to the hole
Days ruptured but whole
My thoughts are of last night while numbered days do unfold
What I value's never chosen
The pressure comes from within
Ravage this shell until my thoughts start to show through my skin
I'm gonna rupture
They gather till I rupture
