Floating Up the Stairs

Look at a life

And the one beside

Now look the other way

These futures forming

From the get go day one

Will be better than

Or is expected to be

Tell me who's fortunate

Incendiary mark my words

They shouldn't mean a thing

Even with how mean I like to be



Come rake me over

New form of torture

One more time

I'll do it to mine

And look the other way



You'll never measure up

Up up and away

Way beyond anywhere you think

You'll be able to reach higher

Everything is about getting higher

Farther, faster, bigger, better

Way bigger than you'll ever be

You tiny little swine

Offer nothing kind to anyone

Should've never been not good enough

Look at that It's awful remarks

My words stockpile

Short fuse

Fusillade

Combustion

Bust open

Comparison

Tell me who's fortune you want



This California

Kind of torture

Where the sun shines

All the time

Can I just look away?



Way beyond comparison

If that exists

I'll meet you there

Way upon the stairs I've floated up…



When it began

Run comparison

Damage in other ways

Abilities, fortunes

Outcome pear shaped

Off course mistakes

Everything better than

They really did a number on you



One more time

I'll walk on the mine

I looked the other way



Way beyond wildest imaginations

You can be, you can be

Way above the stars I'm wishing on

There's always higher, there's always higher



Way beyond comparison

This one, that one

Way above the stars we're shooting for

You can see

You can see
