lyrics

HIGHER

There are so many people
That you have relied on
Who’s doorstep you’d cry on

There are so many others
Your sisters and brothers
Were your Daddys and Mothers

Now what was left of the ground fell away
You lay down in dust filled disarray
The martyr was no part to play

But you keep getting higher
Tangled up in your wires
The people you had inspired
Who ran with you to desire
Grew old and retired

Pain became so much pleasure
Self loathing is measured
By how one clings to this treasure

Live in a craze of denial
Kill the will for a while
Hide behind a vague child

Now that so little is left of the soul
The rock has run out of your roll
And the shock of what’s left leaves you cold

You keep getting higher
Tangled up in your wires
What used to glitter and gleam
Seems to have lost all its sheen
You wake and there’s no more scene

But you keep getting higher
Tangled up in your wires
The people you had inspired
Who ran with you to desire
Are now old and retired
