I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top |
|
I live upon morsels you happen to drop |
|
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup |
|
If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up |
|
On the way upwards, the colors come back |
|
But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black |
|
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong |
|
And the night seems to go on incredibly long |
|
So I ask you why if I'm swimming by, |
|
Don't you see anything you'd like to try? |
|
Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth |
|
Jumbled events that have less than no worth |
|
Time in the forest to dig under rocks |
|
Or float in the ocean asleep in a box |
|
Or sink just below all the churning and froth |
|
And swim to the light source or fly like a moth |
|
So toss away stuff you don't need in the end |
|
But keep what's important and know who's your friend |
|
So I ask you why if I'm swimming by, |
|
Don't you see anything that you'd like to try? |
|
If I'm swimming by |
|
From the bottom, from the top |
