Inchworm
Inchworm

There’s a small incision made with deadliest precision
That lets a darkness seep into my heart
But I don’t need sureness or crave a faulty pureness
I only want a warning when it starts

I'm an inchworm walking, mesuring and dropping
The journey seemed much simpler at the start
When I mesure every step, I never ever guess
That every single step is all the same
And misery forgets, there was ever happiness
And happiness treats misery about the same

I'm an inchworm walking, reaching up and stopping
The journey seemed much simpler at the start
And I took a road not taken, I was probably mistaken
I've had a lover's quarrel with world
And I'm not heroic, I cannot muster stoic
But in my life I want a leading part

I’m an inchworm walking, measuring and dropping
The journey seemed much simpler at the start

On every crowded highway, every silent byway
Every victory soaked in salty tears
If I stay a springtime green, it's through a thousand dirty falls
I weep to see the wonder of it all

I'm an inchworm walking, measuring and stopping
The journey seemed much simpler at the start
I'm an inchworm walking, reaching up and dropping
The journey seemed much simpler at the start
