Up on high and way above the water
I dissect, destroy and put back, I
I've been surrounded by my bricks and mortar
And I just can't move for materials
Oh my! Oh me!
I can't see
I've been blinded by
this sand in my eyes
Oh me! Oh my!
Though I try
I can't
find an order for it all
When I'm too close to the picture I can't make any sense
And so I reach into my pocket for a fist of regrets
And through a hammer and a chisel I destroy 'till it gets
A little clearer...
I don't know if all I've got to give
Will ever be enough to lift the lid
But I understand that while I live
I'll build pyramids
I don't know if all I have will do
To build a fitting marker for this tomb
But I know that while I've got the room
I'll build pyramids
Oh I been sharing all my stones and cement, I
I've been running about of air! -
I been neglecting what my insides need, I
I've been running away from it! -
Oh my! Oh me!
I couldn't see
I've been blinded by
this sand in my eyes
Oh me! Oh my!
Though I try
I can't
find an order for it all
I dissect, destroy and put back, I
I've been surrounded by my bricks and mortar
And I just can't move for materials
Oh my! Oh me!
I can't see
I've been blinded by
this sand in my eyes
Oh me! Oh my!
Though I try
I can't
find an order for it all
When I'm too close to the picture I can't make any sense
And so I reach into my pocket for a fist of regrets
And through a hammer and a chisel I destroy 'till it gets
A little clearer...
I don't know if all I've got to give
Will ever be enough to lift the lid
But I understand that while I live
I'll build pyramids
I don't know if all I have will do
To build a fitting marker for this tomb
But I know that while I've got the room
I'll build pyramids
