behind the curtain

If I could lift up the loose tile If I could look behind the curtain See fear as a misguided child Through the eyes of its mother possession Does a fish own the water? A poet the rhyme? Why then should we think that We own the time? Moments are snowflakes That melt on our minds Existence a glacier That melts into brine, but My friend never let moments slip Like he knew this trick Life can go on and on If you live inside of every song My friend left me with this trick Help in moments like this When everything feels so thick Remember to live in the music Be what others call the sign Give a gift that wasn't purchased Walk somebody's darkest mile Try to hold some of the burden Does a fish own the water? A poet the rhyme? Why then should we think that We own the time? Moments are snowflakes That melt on our minds Existence a glacier That melts into brine, but My friend never let moments slip Like he knew this trick Life can go on and on If you live inside of every song My friend left me with this trick Help in moments like this When everything feels so thick Remember to live in the music Remember to live Live in the music
