I See The World In a Different Way

I see the world in a different way
A ladder's not a ladder
It's a staircase leading to a roof where a lawn chair is set up
And the rain's pitter patter sounds more like a song
Than anything that I've ever made up

I see the world in a different way
Life is but a vapor
Sometimes even a viper or the devil is a sniper
I'm all caught up, I'm all caught up.

I'll never be
The person that you want from me
But I'll be myself
When the sunny days turn into snow,
I'll strap on my wings but unlike birds
I won't fly south.

If you take your hand and make a fist
Can you look through it?
It takes more than flesh to feel a breeze.
Why kill time?
What did it to to you?
You should be jailed for your crime
But we're all just as guilty so it's just a fine

I'll never be
The person that you want from me
But I'll be myself
When the sunny days turn into snow,
I'll strap on my wings but unlike birds
I won't fly south.
