"Don't look down!"
It's what you told me that day
Up on the crest of the hill
Lil Ezra frozen in place
You told me fear was a lie
The devil swearing it's fate
And if I looked down below I'd look him right in the face
And when the lies come, the cyclones, the Malcolm the middle
The Johnny Mac that had attacks of panic shaken and riddled
The lines of code that showed the clothing holes that burned with a kindle
And every candlestick that showed that it's all tunnel no end
But if you look up then the sidewalk is forever no fear
Don't look down or you'll see sneakers scared to step off the pier
If you see it coming all your hopes and all your dreams disappear
And so I'm telling you to just ignore the floor for a year
"Don't look down!
Down
Down, Down, Down
Don't look down!"
It's what you told me that day
Up on the crest of the hill I slipped and fell on my face
My head was bruised up and scarred
Said close my eyes and then pray
And when I open up the wounds would soon be nothing but pain
I trusted, bowed, and then thanked
I shut my mouth and then praised
Looking up and seeing the one that fixed the glitch in my brain
But half the time I saw clouds
I knew it wasn't allowed
And so my head started to droop till I was staring at ground
I saw the end of the road
I didn't like what I found
Instead of lifting me up
You push my chin up and shout
"I miss when you were a child
When you weren't broken and loud!
I miss the purity that came before you looked at the ground
So why the hell didn't you listen when I showed you around
That music filling your ears can't lend a second of sound
I told you Ezra listen closely lend an ear when I say
Ezra listen closely lend an ear when I say"
