Ground Level - Ellie Lawson/Ekiti Son.mp3

[00:12.12]I've seen you flying high
[00:12.54]Chasing clouds in the sky
[00:16.68]Such a broad horizon
[00:18.78]Your gray wings spread wide
[00:19.41]Over unknown regions
[00:19.98]With changing winds they ride
[00:23.10]Greedy eyes scan the surface
[00:23.82]Laughing at us earthbound souls
[00:29.52]But as you grab for too much
[00:30.09]You can't help it, your ivory tower falls
[00:31.53]And now you've hit the ground
[00:37.71]Aimlessly crawling around
[00:39.96]I know what you believed
[00:40.38]To be (more worth than anything)
[00:43.62]I see that you've become
[00:44.04]Just like me (or anyone else in here)
[00:44.82]As you stand before me
[00:45.39]Bare feet on stony ground
[00:46.26]Is there nothing more to lose?
[00:46.89]Or is there something you've found?
[00:47.64]What made you so sure that
[00:48.21]You're someone who never fails?
[00:49.14]How could you avoid thorns
[00:49.89]If leaving the old, used road
[00:50.70]For solitary, narrow ways?
[00:51.60]Just swear you won't give up
[00:52.29]Mind your steps but never stop
[00:53.49]I know what you believed
[00:53.97]To be (more worth than anything)
[00:54.69]I see that you've become just like me
[00:55.86](Or anyone else inside these walls of sanity)
[00:56.82]You are only scraping ground level now
[00:57.75]Will you try to escape or will you hide somehow?
[00:59.13]To sweep the dirt of others
[00:59.82]With your precious hands
[01:00.30]Could you be a servant
[01:00.90]With a will that never bends?
[01:02.16](It's right behind the line
[01:02.85]But you're running out of time)
[01:03.84]Astonished I look at you
[01:04.56]'Cause I see my shell
[01:05.40]So I close my eyes and deep inside
[01:06.48]All I sense in myself is you
[01:07.35]Well, I know what you believed
[01:09.18]To be (more worth than anything)
[01:10.35]I see that you've become just like me
[01:14.31](Or anyone else inside these walls of sanity)
[01:16.56]You are only scraping ground level now
[01:20.70]Will you try to escape or will you hide somehow?
[01:33.30]To sweep the dirt of others
[01:34.14]With your precious hands
[01:34.65]Could you be a servant
[01:35.10]With a will that never bends?
[01:35.70]So you're only scraping ground level now
[01:36.72]Will you lick your wounds
[01:37.50]Or continue somehow?
[01:37.98]Will you dry your tears,
[01:38.49]Will you wash your hands
[01:38.94]Before you're in too deep down?
[01:40.77]I hope you understand
[01:42.72](It's right behind the line
[01:51.12]But you're running out of time)
[01:53.85](Life's right behind the line
[02:03.33]But you're running out of time)
