Lyrics
Upper Me
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.
The time has come the wild one said
When we must all decide
We cannot carry on this way
And so we must divide
The road before us runs both ways
So which one do you choose
But all will not go well if you refuse
What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind?
How can I leave my ego behind?
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive?
How can I keep my hero alive?
It seems to me the wise one said
That mountains are so high
The river is too deep to cross
And none of us can fly
But I believe that compromise
Is what is needed here
Or surely we become the things we fear
But the good in me don't wanna believe
That the evil me is so
And a voice somewhere said do as you please
But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no
What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind?
How can I leave my ego behind?
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive?
How can I keep my hero alive?
To survive
How can I keep my hero alive?
