Lights shining on down
As I dance on around
Through the days that I can see
Being written, starring me
On a stage
Strong in the roots of a page
Edges being torn away
Trying to get ahead
In this race that I've never led
But, I know the faster I go
The quicker I get to the unknown
Creeping in
The darkest of light in my head
Push comes to shove in the end
Don't want to fall through this hole I've dug
All my thoughts swept beneath the rug
Sold off on the auction block
All the keys to these dreams I've lost
Lying alone in my bed
Hand in hand with the thoughts in my head
Comes and goes just like the wind blows
Pushing through all the ash I arose
Once again
Higher and higher I ascend
Watching the days quickly spin
Help me down before I fall
Spinning around, curled in a ball
Help me before I fall
Spinning around in a ball
