So this is really how it goes When you believe in something So much that it hurts It was my solemn oath To achieve the near impossible And I paid the toll Predition was never too far off Close the top The ideals that had carried me so far Would not be stopped Higher than the height of all reason I couldn't let go of the notion that one day I'd reach it If I kept believing It was a one way track I made the choice of never looking back A dead end path My undeniable truth That could never be disproved Such an earnest fool Predition was never too far off Close to the top The ideals that had carried me so far Would not be stopped But at the end of the tunnel I saw a light that wasn't guiding, I was blind It was the bottom of the well I was so caught up in my own reflection And into my abyss I fell I got just what I wanted all along And in the course of my descent, I discovered wieghtlessness It became evident As I neared oblivion That I had one of two options Most fall feet frist like cowards But I dove headlong into beyond Higher than the height of all reason I couldn't let go of the notion that one day I'd reach it If I kept believing But at the end of the tunnel I saw a light that wasn't guiding, I was blind It was the bottom of the well I was so caught up in my own reflection And into my abyss I fell I got just what I wanted all along I'd reached the apex of hope's spires The furthest point from non-belief The altitude was perilous And temptation surmonted gravity, and now I'm gone
