I Get Low - Timber Timbre

If I could, I would turn back into dust

It 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

And in the palm of my hand, an empire summoned

And as it was born, all 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’ll reach the summit but I come tumbling back down
