lyrics | learn to sing The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could stop me

And then came the rush of the flow

Stars of mine, too deep to touch

Melt me down into a big black hollow

Live no trace of grace and just know

Lower me down to comfort cells

Make them walls, space in town for the living

And the dregs of my bed have been sleeping

Lower me down, pin me in, secure the ground

Deliberate, what's I want to be?

The crisp, the fierce, the solid rock

Which brain that could explain any feelings?

Lower me down, bend me in, secure the ground for the land and the drugs in my bed

I've been sleeping for the later parade

What's I want to be?

The critters?

The wind?

Or what the fuck I'm stalling?

And then came the rush of the flow

Starts of life

Dips and downs

Melt me down
