Haddon Stauffer - Ceiling Lyrics

It seems that everybody knows
What's going on
And they're keeping it
A secret
A perfect plot for them to carry on
To put together pieces
So I'll go ahead and tell my dodgy truths
And you will still believe them
It's hard to describe just what you want
When wanting turns to needing

So I'll wait around for somebody
To come on up and bother me
If they've got the time
But they never do
And that's just how God teaches me
Exactly what the preachers mean
Do unto others
As they do unto you

A lesson learned
Is a lesson very clear
There's no room for delaying
You must decide who you're living for
When no one else is staying
Because this body that contains your very soul
Is already decaying
And if time is the force that tips the scale
You'd better get to weighing

I'm tired of waiting 'round for somebody
To come on up and bother me
If they've got the time
But they never do
And that's just how God teaches me
Exactly what the preachers mean
Do unto others
As they do unto you

Today I will starve
Cornered by the way that I think
Tomorrow will dissolve
Like our picture perfect moment
When the hours start to crawl
It's a righteous inclination
The conclusion that you draw
Sometimes God is work

And when I need my mind
To be extinguished
I'll start the drive
But never finish
And when I reach the light
Upon the ceiling
I'll realize
You were only kidding
