Float Upstream - Paper Mountains Lyrics

I can't move for my roots go deep
I call it death - others call it sleep
I know that I'm well past my prime
And it's just a matter of time
One day the axe will have its way
And send me to an earthy grave
I'll be dismembered and set alight
To some strangers delight

When you trade in all your cheer for sorrow
When you feel like you don't have tomorrow
When you steal and yet you claim to borrow
Your paper mountains reach so high
But I hope you know how to fly
Fly
Fly

I can't move for my roots go deep
I call it death - others call it sleep
I know that I'm well past my prime
And it's just a matter of time
One day the axe will have its way
And send me to an earthy grave
I'll be dismembered and set alight
To some strangers delight
To help him sleep at night

When you trade in all your cheer for sorrow
When you feel like you don't have tomorrow
When you steal and yet you claim to borrow
Your paper mountains reach so high
But I hope you know how to fly
One day you'll learn
You'll be forced to watch them burn
Fly
Fly

It takes a lifetime to climb to the top - but only seconds to hit the bottom
It takes a lifetime to find solutions - but only seconds to cause the problem
It takes a lifetime to climb to the top - but only seconds to hit the bottom
It takes a lifetime to find solutions
Oh where are the solutions

When you trade in all your cheer for sorrow
When you feel like you don't have tomorrow - no
When you steal and yet you claim to borrow
Your paper mountains reach so high
But I hope you know how to fly
Fly
Fly
