lyrics

When you’re small
It’s hard not to look up at those that are tall
They look like mountains
I wanna go there
Wanna breathe that rarified air
High above the trees
Looking down on everything

Sometimes I fall down and
I can’t get up. I look up.
I see the mountain before me
Looming, excluding me.
One mistake shouldn’t break my heart
Shouldn’t make this all fall apart

Perfection feels like a peak,
a single solitary place
Far from where we base,
far from where we base our lives
It’s a view you can look down from,
convinced you know where everything belongs
It creates false gods.
It takes reality and flattens it, and makes real
an ideal that was before just a dream
It’s easy to judge others when they’re far away
Distance makes them small,
just be careful if you don’t slip and fall.

I fucking hate that place,
The illusion of a diseased brain.
I want a peak that’s everywhere for everyone.
I want one million perfections
Each one with a thousand facets
Like glittering sea of princess cut diamonds
Sloshing and shimmering before me
And threatening to swallow me.
