Crystal Clear Mountains

Why do I look up to you, My chandelier of elegance? Jealousy scorches my soul... I'm caught in a spell of your brilliance Vanity is a poison in my veins, But I got the brains to embrace your grace Insecure without you, looking after me Pre-chorus: You're the crystal clear mountains And I'm the city's unloved gutters tonight But opposites attract as they always say... Life in my shoes wasn't much of a cup of coffee Don't drag me to the floor of remorse I'm begging for forgiveness that I don't really deserve...frightened by the light This pain is severe My afflictions are sincere Chorus: I wish I can hike the crystal clear mountains with you by my side With you by my side Set me free from being brainwashed every single day of my life Every single day of my life Where does your heart abide? Why do I feel the need to hide? The crystal clear mountains are ascending with flawless pride With flawless pride I need to gain self-control and patience... I'm hoping I can increase in strength and tear apart all thoughts of ignorance... Isn't ignorance suppose to be bliss? Give me a reason to say goodbye to fear And give me a second chance to burn up the distress that echoes lies in my head... Regrets of losing control reduced me to this insecure man of very little inventions Dirty rhythm bangs at my skull with clever yet sly intentions...feeling a thousand tensions I dreaded this moment of hopelessness Give me some time to reflect on the good times we've spent with cheer Pre-ch Ch The unbearable insomnia Takes over me night after night My eyes stare at the screen in awe I'm trying to drown out the darkness with all remaining might Exposed to the artificial light man has made for our pleasure alone Suppose there's a reason I can't close my eyes...the reason is just left unknown The pain and suffering I see is out of sight Spare the poor the riches that life has in store for them...they aren't the ones that deserve to be condemned Remove their lives from sorrows that doesn't serve them right Why must I give in to my perverse ways? I still have a chance to treasure my innocence like a rare gem Pre-ch Ch The brawls of blasphemed boredom Has allowed me to put my guard down...and I regret losing time over my pleasures that I wish would fade away from me... God's Kingdom come! I want to seek His holy rest, but I keep avoiding it as if I'm the east and His word is the west... I'm trying my best not to be a pest...I don't want to watch my life pass away before my very eyes...I want to pass life's tough test If only God's spirit can wrap me up with divine bliss... If only I had the energy to dispose of my hopelessness... Pre-ch Ch Believe it or not, God is still around I may be a lost and frightened child, but I'll prevent my faith from failing me now - I will not be left behind, but sooner or later, I'll be found...above the ground I'll be found...above the ground I am the triumphant mountain that won't break down... I am the magnificent fountain, illuminating the wretched town... Possibly, you and I can be just as graceful as the crystal clear mountains if we can stay on track Let us be the hanging chandelier of elegance...vanity won't be on our case anymore, for I've got your back
