Lyrics for Turtles All The Way Down

I have lived everyday of my life Thinking only of what I should think When I read back on everything that I have written On how I lived my life And in the process of doing so I have to start at the chance to feel alive Just to stay an observer of an impartial observer Here I go again, I'm chasing my tail around the sun Standing beneath a tortoise under an elephant under the world The gravity of the battle means nothing to those at peace I can't believe, I thought my thoughts meant anything When we think we've reached the end We're only back where we begin When we think we've reached the end We're only back where we begin Superman, Superman, Superman We are starving to death on full stomachs Running miles, new hearts on old legs If I had known all the howls were false alarms Oh, just imagine the ammo we'd save Here we go again, I'll come to your party if it goes Until four question marks at least Three or less and it's not worth my time at all On nights like those my absence trumps my company When we think we've reached the end We're only back where we begin When we think we've reached the end We're only back where we being Superman, Superman, Superman I truly believe I'll be remembered And that even this sentence will be studied Oh, will you think that I am wise 'cause I'm aware of that? Or am I just killing myself before they get me?
