On The Shoulders Of Giants

 

Beside yourself with broken mirrors

Up the walls, a burning grey

Broken lines; dropped calls

See yourself a little clearer           

I know the face, just can’t place the name

 

Paper-thin palaces tumble and fall

Like the words of some forgotten fool

Deal me in for one more hand

One eyed Jack’s my guide tonight

 

Burning bright through the night

Keep your smile locked away

The hills ringing in your ears

The sounds resonate in our time

 

If you’re in need of inspiration

The sky is where I turn my head

The earth is full of broken stares

And the wind cries with deleterious lies

 

This life is never where we left it

The sum just doesn’t quite add up

We all want to stand on the shoulders of giants

But, it just leaves you cold and gasping for air

Isn't that the truth much of the time.
