Ground

Not quite there – a few more turns
Will you have to grab another rope that burns?
All the minefields and traps never stopped you in your tracks

What does it take? What’s left to prove?
Your mind is set on that ultimate move
But the strangest things come in late – an invariable twist of fate

At least you’re alive
You feel the ground beneath your feet
All your thoughts may be incomplete
But they’re everything you need to survive
Among the mindless crowds that fly
Across their cloudless but fading sky
They’ll be coming down

Forever struggling while some get all the luck
You’ll know which side you’re on, once you’re completely stuck
When there’s no way around or out, and no one really cares about…

You being alive
You feel the ground beneath your feet
All your thoughts may be incomplete
But they’re everything you need to survive
Among the mindless crowds that fly
Across their cloudless but fading sky
They’ll be coming down

For their castle in the sky
Is just a house of cards built much too high
It’ll fall apart and be scattered all around
As you break new ground

And you’re still alive
You feel the ground beneath your feet
All your thoughts may be incomplete
But they’re everything you need to survive
Among the mindless crowds that fly
Across their cloudless but fading sky
They’ll be coming down
