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

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

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...

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
