The Writing on the Wall

You open up your eyes
Your feet are to the fire and you can't remember what you've done
Try and look outside and see your answers are all gone
Waiting in the room
The padding on the ceiling can decipher how your chips may fall
Try and get away

Surrender it all
Yeah you see the writing on the wall
For now until you forget it all

Remember all your goals
The money and the other shit you had to get before you die
Finally have it all and still you won't be satisfied
Crazy in your mind
You shiver in the sunlight and you're sweating when the snow will fall
Try and get away

Surrender it all
Yeah you see the writing on the wall
For now until you forget how
To walk to the river
Wander through the trees
You're swimming in the ocean
Falling to your knees
We try not to remind each other how we undermine each other
But everybody's lying instead of staying silent
And everybody's fighting while they're trying to paint a picture of God

You look at what's around you
And see the things you're bound to
To rip and replace the many mistakes you made to the ones that ground you
Perspective of the cost gives perspective to the loss
You're facing when you circle back to all the lines you've crossed
You know all that you're up against and everything you fear
A less concerning statement has a verdict drawing near
The only thing concerning you is how you end up there
The judge the prosecution and the jury have you spared
From the north to the south to the east to the west
No matter where you go you know you always make a mess of it
And try and leave the rest of it and give away the best of it
Cause most of us are hiding with no one to confide in
A few of us keep trying
But everybody's fighting while they're trying to paint a picture of God

The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
For now until you forget how
To walk to the river
Wander through the trees
You're swimming in the ocean
Falling to your knees
We try not to remind each other how we undermine each other
But everybody's lying instead of staying silent
And everybody's fighting while they're trying to paint a picture of God
