lyrics

You put your weight upon your legs
And your legs above your feet
But the ground falls away from you
In a most unfamiliar way

So you shift your weight from leg to leg
And the Earth further recedes
Away from your footfalls
Until you're climbing the sky

Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher until you cannot even see the ground

And you cannot even see the way from which you came
And you'll never retrace those footsteps back down again
So you're left without a safe or graceful way to descend
So you keep on climbing
Keep on climbing higher towards the fall

Higher and higher
Higher and higher
Higher and higher until you cannot even see the ground

You put your weight upon your legs
And your legs above your feet
But the ground now fails to fall away
In what has become your accustomed way

Now you're left there standing
Holding only lonely empty
Handfuls of air
Instead of a head full of sky
Still you know that you will fall from so terribly high

And you cannot even see the way from which you came
And you'll never retrace those footsteps back down again
So you're left without a safe or graceful way to descend
So you keep on climbing
Keep on climbing higher towards the

And you know that some part of yourself
Is gonna die on that long way down
And the only thing that you have
Is which part of your self is gonna land
So grab that rudder in your hand
And see if you...
