[Verse:] I feed from the bottom you feed from the top I live upon morsels you happen to drop And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup If nothing comes down then i'm forced to swim up On the way upwards the colors come back But all on the bottom is blue, gray and black The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong And the night seems to go on incredibly long Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
Jumbled events that have less than no worth Time in the forest to dig under rocks Float on the ocean and sleep in a box Or sink just below all the churning and froth And swim to the light-source, or fly like a moth So toss away stuff you won't need in the end But keep what's important – and know who's your friend So i ask you why If i'm swimming by Don't you see anything you'd like to try?
