lyrics

Why do I hate
Everything I create?
Why would I hate a love song?
Is it too long?
Do I tear out my heart and show something
I shouldn't have shown?
Is it too overblown?

And ohhhh
How far apart we all live
And ohhh
How hard it is to give
The thing in the world that we most want to give.

Look up at the trees,
They're bustin' with leaves
They don't seem to mind where each berry
And each leflet springs,
They're just doin' their tall woody tree thing
And the wind makes them sing.

Look up at the sky
So empty and wide.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone's steering this ship,
Or if it's just a bunch of turtles all stacked up
And ready to flip,
Turtles all the way down.

And ohhh
If that is the case
Then I
Have hope for the human race,
Because riding on the back
Of an infinite stack of turtles
Seems better to me
Than falling asleep in the prison
Of an angry god.
