Climbing a mountain
In darkness
Stranded alone on the ledge
Every attempt that I make to hold on
Pushes me nearer the edge
Sensing the changes impending
My thoughts are diffused by despair
I feel like I'm swimming straight up
Underwater
Desperately racing for air
I'm racing for air
refrain:
And the chords struck at birth
Grow more distant
Yet, we strike them again and again
And we plead and we pray
For a glimmer of day
As the night folds its wings
And descends
Exposing the loose ends
Surrounding myself with possessions
I surely have more than I need
I don't know if this is justice
hard earned
Or simply a matter of greed
A matter of greed
refrain (2x)
