Existential Hero Lyrics

by 311

[Verse 1]
Whole world! From the high country to the bottom of the sea
I caught a place that I needed to be
It comes and it goes, the momentary glory
Then, quick as they came they're down the drain
Another one coming from a shallow place will not remain
Remember when what was possible would never end
Now we abide by limits I cannot defend
It fits good and yet the best we reject
You get what you get I guess don't get upset

[Bridge]
Where is that Garden of Eden
Under stars and the trees and
And so far, so far from the heathens
Planets follow patterns, our stars in the seasons
Flowing like a river we broaden and deepen

{​Chorus]
Hold on, before we are gone
Got lots to do but time with you
Keeps on sliding
And I keep on blowing a fuse, there you go
Unseen, your face in the screen
I feel your attention dividing
But this is worth more than the news

[Verse 2]
Prepare to bare all
I paint the cave walls
I am the hobbit
With the ring in the forest
I am the richest, I am the poorest
A particle I vibe I just keep dancin'
I move from this world into a mansion
Of light and love as below and above
I chart the planets and the whales migration
I'm home everywhere I run the station
The last light of a dying star
In every game I am that wild card
I participate I'm paleolithic
And geology and astrophysics
A true cowboy existential hero
I compiled that deck and named it tarot
I'm in play give me the ball
I'm Buddha with amnesia then sudden recall

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Somehow I fell into it all again, it all again
Somehow I fell into it all again, it all makes sense
Somehow I fell into it all again, it all make sense
Somehow it was here all along
