I Blame You For My Success
I blame you for my success
I have looked back
Seen you
Breathing on my neck
Pushing me
Sometimes throwing me
On the deep end of things
When I successfully failed
To follow your words
You cornered me again
Attacked me with ideas
Over and over
I have seen your fingerprints
Where I progressed.
With that the steel was tempered
I blame you for my success
If I find you today
I must kill you with gifts
Where are you?
You, a soaring eagle
Undoubted master of the sky
Spied on me from where you fly
Shooting from the morning sun
Landed at dawn and dropped a line
I saw a falcon said you
And here I am, the falcon
But where are you?
I must kill you with gifts
I am flying across the highs
On which cloud are you?
