Lyrics
I saw you climb the scaffolding
Seeking higher ground when you'd have surely been
Better off below
I saw the neighbors clammoring
They try to talk you down, it's bad behavior in
Sight of Oakhurst Row
I heed the signs, I shut the blinds
I chase my tail, I learn to fail
I saw you cornered in an alleyway
You thought was open road, You thought you'd broke the code
To a higher plane
I overheard a neighbor say
She saw how hard you tried
But then you went and lied
And said you felt her pain
I weather storms, I have my thorns
I stand my ground, pre-sight and sound
I saw you climb the scaffolding
I saw the child in the swing
I saw the demons you implore
I saw you slowly close the door
I know why you try: only birds and angels can fly
A man on the ground is easily found
Gate Paragate Parasamgate (ditto ditto ditto)
I saw you fill the camera
Dimples and chagrin, I must admit I've been
Focusing below
Wide eyeing angles you deploy
Deconstructing men you self destruct again
Eyes upon the goal
I need the signs, I meet the minds
I tend the goal, I pay the toll
