You praise me

But can't hold me in your hand

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Were my ideas too tall

My stories too grand?

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Questioning everyone about me

Collecting information

Furthering your own defamation

No one understands your trajectory

But it ain't affecting me

You see me as an effigy

My sister says everyone's a symbol

You flash in the road like road kill

No time to think

There's always one of us that had power

Thoughts in the shower then

Trying to wash them down in the sink

You praise me

But can't hold me in your hand

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Were my ideas too tall

My stories too grand?

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

You wish that you had me suspended

Goliath and David

Aren't remembered for being a team

If you could have me half arsed

Half way half done you would

Have won but I'm all or nothing me

You couldn't grasp the length

Of my thoughts so you struggle

With my core as you tremble

Under light then you try me

With your spite and you watch

Me walk away while you

Wither until day and I grow

With the sapling that you gave away

You praise me but can't

Hold me in your hand

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Were my ideas too tall

My stories too grand?

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

Letting me fall through

Your fingers like sand

(You don't see it at all

You let me go I fall

You don't see it at all

You let me go I fall

You don't see it at all

You let me go I fall)
