lyrics

Looking down at a molehill, but I'm covered in leaves
I could make it a mountain, I won't see for the trees
Hanging off of a branch, but, I'm swatting at bees
I could level the forest,
I could break both my knees

Take a dive in the river, hope that no one will see
I'll trade comfort for pleasure any day of the week
carve a niche on a hillside, spend sublime centuries
break my back for an ideal, and I'll never be free

toss an old empty bucket, into old empty well
steep your mind's old creations in the stories you tell
the ghost who lives at your bedside,
a phantom outside your reach
your problems still just a molehill
still to his own is each

Catch your fears,
rope them up until
you can stay your fears
keep them stable still
you can ride your high horse
on top of your molehill
