about

A song about my beliefs and feelings.

lyrics

So whats this world waiting for
is anyone counting on me?
I think no they don't even know who I am
I doubt they care for the things that I've done
they'd call me crazy, but some might call me
genius maybe righteous
searching for a new way out
to get my voice out of my shell
to break free from this hell
I'm drowning in
this river of souls
they promised fortunes untold
but instead of gold I got a lump of coal
but carbon's not bad to me
a good perspective's not a thing you can ask for
I've tried before but all I got was high on myself
I'd rather waste my time and forget mistakes
have a meaning as a word in the first place
just be glad we smile for who knows what
and we cry for who knows why

I don't know what to make of this
lets make a meal out of our bread
eat food for thought
and make our beds
and keep a temple in our heads
of holy sorrow
I happen to know who I am
I have a girl down towards mizzou
and my bearings on the land I love
and my convictions about
this river of souls
they promised fortunes untold
but instead of gold I got a lump of coal
but carbon's not bad to me
a good perspective's not a thing you can ask for
I've tried before but all I got was high on myself
I'd rather waste my time and forget mistakes
have a meaning as a word in the first place
just be glad we smile for who knows what
and we cry for who knows why

That (ex) girl down toward's mizzou
