I Get Low

If I could I would turn
Back into dust
You would look so good to me
I could almost taste it
One moment I'm a king
The next minute nothing
I just wanted to feel alright
But it's not that simple

I get low, low, low, low, low, low
On my own
I get low, low, low, low, low, low
On my own

In the palm of my hand
An empire summoned
And as it was born
All the substance crumbled
It was a vain attempt
At the meaning of life
And I should have better ways
Of spending my time
Like climb the mountain
Like sail the sea
Like build my house up
Or start my family
It's time to get out
It's time to make a living
I reach the summit

I get low, low, low, low, low, low
On my own
I get low, low, low, low, low, low
On my own
I get low, low, low, low, low, low
On my own
I get low, low, low, low, low, low
On my own
