  • I started out in search of ordinary things
    How much of a tree bends in the wind
    I started telling the story without knowing the end

    I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
    Something to be seen was passing over and over me
    Well it seemed like the routine case at first
    With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
    But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
    And I woke myself until I'm frazzled

    I ended up in search of ordinary things
    Like how can a wave possibly be?
    I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
    I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned

    In case things go poorly and I not return
    Remember the good things I've done
    In case things go poorly and I not return
    Remember the good things I've done
    Done me in
