lyrics

Another ring goes round and round
Another foot above the ground
I’d been standing here
For a thousand years
When you walked up on my shore
You needed shelter from the rain
You huddled underneath my shade
But then you wanted something more
Four walls and a door
A place to call your own
So you just cut me down

I never even caught your names
You flickered out like little flames
I was hardened by the fires
Here before your wires
It all burns just the same
You run around and gather things
Like little ants all scurrying
From the magnifying fire
You tilt atop your spires
But you’ll never get this high
And you miss me when I’m gone

Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long to wake up

It takes too long
It takes too long
It takes too long to wake up

Don’t waste your lungs
Don’t waste your lungs
Screaming till they wake up

You waste it all
You waste it all
You waste it all now wake up
