I stood as tall as a mountain   I never really thought about the drop   I trod over rocks to get there   Just so I could stand on top   Clumsy and blind I stumbled   As I crawled through desert sands   I didn't stop to think about the consequences   As it came to pieces in my hands      I thought I was a maritime marvel   I believed that I ruled the waves   All I could say is time is motion   And every effort others made I would save      I was a shit stained statue   School children would stand in awe   Truly believed I was a ceiling of sky   Never thought about having flaws      I felt as reverent as Jesus   The sanctimony stunk   I thought I was admiral of the missing fleet   I couldn't see that I was sunk      I roared my pride in the darkness   I scratched away at the stars   I thought I was lord of this crappy jungle   I should have been put behind bars      But now I sit with my head in my hands   And wail to the weeping wall   The avalanche of my emotions   Holds the audience of one enthralled      Like learning the lesson the hard way   Like a fall from command   I thought I as king of the whole wide world   But it just came to pieces in my hands
