Creature

Tell me your fears And I'll make them rhyme Are you running down the clock Are you falling out of time Are you dancing off a precipice Of your mortality Where the monster meets its maker And the river meets the sea There's a creature on the stage Drinking all the wine Singing all the pretty songs Telling everyone they're fine While everything is burning The world is all ablaze And we'll all go out together In a dreamy kind of haze Can you count upon your fingers The gifts you've received The ones that brought you comfort And granted a reprieve From a world wrought of anger Suffering and greed A gift like this is sacred You can plant it like a seed Take it to the land Where the river has run dry Dig a hole into the earth To the aquifer inside Draw the water from the well Plant that little seed It might be our salvation That might be what we need
