In the quiet of the night
laying low, beneath the rubble,
I peek into the sky
and watch the mountain crumble.
It could have been the weather;
the raging of the storm..
It could have been the beauty,
The calmness keeping the norm.
It could have been...
Knocking down the trees
I'm running through my life
Tearing up the weeds
Until the cliff meets the sky.
Trying to catch myself
Before I fall over,
Into the water rising
the hit would keep me sober.
I could have fallen...
Pounding in my ears,
the mountain crumbles down
Pounding under my skin
Bringing out the sound..
The rocks jumping on the pavement
My heart beating through my chest.
The mountain falls around me
Laying me to rest.
I could have...
But I didn't.
They say its all or nothing
You have to be all in
And the saying "get your cake and eat it too"
Just slides on down my skin.
Maybe I like ice cream...
cake is just too thick
May I want to lick it
Cuz eating is to quick.
In the quiet of the night
laying low, beneath the rubble;
I peek into the sky
and watch the mountain crumble.
It could have been the weather;
the raging of the storm..
It could have been the beauty
The calmness keeping the norm.
It could have been...
