View From The Top
We always equate success
With mountain tops
As if ascending the rocky spires
Is where you want to go.
It’s probably a bible thing
Moses and commandments
Seems silly, saying shit like that
Like God is on a fucking mountain.
And what do you get from success?
Money, comfort, happiness, love?
No, you get what you’ve always had
As any mountaineer can tell you
Nothing but views and cold at the top.
