I looked up from my paper
Across the infinite plains
By the last light of the skyline I saw shapes
I wont even try to describe or justify
And I'm afraid

But I'm Climbing
And I'm climbing up the side of my grave
On the sides of my grave I find notes,
Notes that say things like
"You've done this before honey.
You're probably going to do this again"

So if It looks to you like I'm in a hurry
Know I'm not running away
I'm just getting tired of acting like I don't know what's lying in wait
Or at stake

And if i don't look in your eyes
I might just be scared for your sake


It means the world to me to
Name the troubles at this stage
It's where the bulk of us were raised

How do you expect to get ahead of that wave?
Tugging and enveloping myself all the way

I was handed these keys
And now I am the valet
I'm Driving towards next pay day

Well you can hear the giant letting out a sigh as we melt in the sunlight
You can feel the velvet on the lining of my cape

Don't think I don't see you behind me in the grocery line
About to say something like
"Wow, you look interesting"
AND I KNOW, ALRIGHT?
My shoes are so tight all I can even do is look down at my own feet

That's why I'm liquefying
I'm aiming to be the Grid and the Snake
I'd stare forever at anything that doesn't mind
I'm not trying to separate my life from
Some Shit I'm Imagining Someone Else Would Say

And I'm giving you knowing glances
And I'm hoping you can relate
