Struck by a final thought about half way down the wall I never thought my life would turn out this way at all I just stepped to the rooftop, to clean a little dust from my veins Under the evening sunshine and in the distance a little rain to enjoy Slipped in a landslide, caught weightless by the flow lost his footing walking among the clouds above the snow From his 5th floor apartment it had seemed just like a simple plan To hold your conviction in the palm of you hand And in my world it's easy to get by for now For I have always played it as it lies Shut your mouth now open up your eyes Stop your drifting play it as it lies
