Ants

(album: Wonderland - 2006)

I am a point in the sky.
A star in a constellation.
I'm all you see.
I am Orion's eyes.
A towering giant's sight.
Me being of mammoth size,
This comes as no surprise.

I see all I've created
From my colossus stance.
I watch as my investment
Is swarmed by the busy ants.
They'll carry ten times the weight
If it means landing the deal.
They'll eat what's not on their plate
If it means a full meal.

Shine down on us now.
Wash our hands clean.
Lord knows they're filthy.
Blackened with greed.
Please be our savior,
Great diety.
Well if you can't save us,
Can this money?

I see all I've created
From my colossus stance.
I watch as my investment
Is swarmed by the busy ants.
They'll carry ten times the weight
If it means landing the deal.
They'll eat what's not on their plate
If it means a full meal.

Few have cut their strings
And risked it all to chase their dreams.
Most seek the quick buck.
The perfect tan.
The easy fuck.
Pray for their promotion.
They stay in line.
They please the queen.
They wait their turn.
Climb the hill.
At all costs, avoid the pain.
With my titan feet I could
End it with just one step.
You cannot dodge agony
If all ten tons of it
Comes stomping down on you at once
Like a bullet to the brain.
From my monster height
A healthy walk I contemplate.
