I see my face on the surface; I look a lot like Narcissus

A dark abyss of an emptiness standing on the edge of a drowning blue

[instrumental, same as intro]
I had a lot of good intentions; sit around for fifty years and then
collect a pension
Started seeing the road to hell and just where it starts
But my life is more than a vision; the sweetest part is acting after
making a decision
I started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts
I look behind my ears for the green, and even my sweat smells clean
Glare off the white hurts my eyes
Gotta get out of bed, get a hammer and a nail, learn how to use my hands
Not just my head, I'll think myself into jail; now I know a refuge never grows
From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose
My life is part of the global life; I'd found myself becoming more immobile
When I'd think a little girl in the world can't do anything
A distant nation my community, a street person my responsibility
If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring
I look behind my ears for the green, and even my sweat smells clean
Glare off the white hurts my eyes
Gotta get out of bed, get a hammer and a nail, learn how to use my hands
Not just my head, I'll think myself into jail; now I know a refuge never grows
From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose
