lyrics

Too High

You distil your spirit through the pill and through the bottle
Somehow tryin to fool yourself
Or you place your pain onto the altar but you falter
Always trying to fool yourself
This is your brand new day, least it was anyway
But you got distracted what your little voice had to say

I got to know, got to have it, but it's much too high
Got to know, understand it, it's much too high
Got to know, got to have it, but it's much too high
So close, just to grab it, it's too high

Tried to educate myself from reading and feeding on a knowledge that was not in school
Went into the desert, not present to the solitude
To make me a holy fool
But you know deep down, you're that circus clown
Keeping people happy 'til you move on to another town

Chorus

This is your brand new day, die and rise the same way
Two steps forward one back, seems the order of the play

Chorus
