We're the reflection of imperfection We come from the infinite place of limitation Rejoice in these days, make a correction We're the completion
Lights out, down for the count and can't get up Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck And the legs of the king are dangling in a rut Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut
We're not alone in the madness If we're here, then so are you Deepest caverns underground We've been taken for the truth Scrape my knees, on the hurdles Face down in the puddles
The only one who'll get us out of this mess The one who put us here I've got a spear driven through my ear Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear Pistols smashing chandeliers Long for brooks of water like the deer
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness Feel I'm just a man
Planting seeds, they won't sink in I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth Water me down, liquefy, I will not be cursed From one into a million disperse
Wisdom reigns like water from the heavens to below Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden starts to grow You know you've got to rise, although you like to flow You can't keep staring out the window
Earth, water, wind, fire We stay low while getting higher Spark igniter, fighting tired Stay wired, enlighten loads Fly alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by
Rise, to the occasion Keep these hearts all blazin' Build your life on a river of wax Melt into space We've been here since the beginning Not going away, not going away
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness Feel I'm just a man
