Lyrics
Turtles All The Way Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have lived every day of my life
Thinking only of what I should think
When I read back at everything
That I have written
On how I lived my life
And in the process of doing so
I have started the chance to feel alive
Just to stay an observer of an impartial observer
Here I go again. I'm chasing my tail around the sun
Standing beneath a tortoise under an elephant under the world
The gravity of the battle means nothing to those at peace
I can't believe I thought my thoughts meant anything
When we think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
When we think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
Superman. Superman. Superman
We are starving to death on full stomachs
Running miles, new hearts on old legs
If I had known all the howls were false alarms
Oh just imagine the ammo we'd save
Here we go again
I'll come to your party if it goes until 4 question marks at least
3 or less and it's not worth my time at all
On nights like those my absence trumps my company
When we think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
When we think we've reached the end, we're only back where we being
Superman. Superman. Superman
I truly believe I'll be remembered and that even this sentence will be studied
Will you think I am wise because I'm aware of that?
Or am I just killing myself before they get me?
