LIKE SCRIPTURE


 

All the world's a stage
So don't go telling me to go play my part
I'm not playing it as you wrote it
Don't agree with the lines you wrote for me
My friend, my enemy.
I won't lie
Not here to read your script
I'm here to improvise

Sorry
Caught me thinking bigger than infinity
Redraw the battle lines
With no borders to my territory

Sleep uneasy in your bed

Thinking fast and moving slow
Who dictates the speed that we go
The pace of the film
The tempo of this track
The working day
The rate of pay
Tubes through the subway

Thinking fast and moving slow
Redraw the battle lines

Do things in my own time
Redraw the battle lines

Now it's my turn

Instead of time
Let the dream decide
Imagination with possibilities
Like fields of flowers

All the routines
That you treat like scripture
Fall apart when you start
To think with your heart

Think with your heart

And find a better picture
One day you will see what I mean
Reality is shaped by the dream

By the dream
By the dream

Buy the dream!

The last thing on my mind
Living a second time
So glad that I waited
To be reincarnated

As your lover as your friend
To a better end
That we'll design
In our own time

Who dictates the speed you go
I'm thinking fast, I'm moving slow
Walking slowly through the rain
To enjoy being home again

'Cause -


All the world's a stage
And I will write
My own part

All the world's a stage
Caught me thinking bigger than infinity

Sleep uneasy in your bed

My friend my enemy
I won't lie
Not here to read your script
I'm here to improvise

Thinking fast and moving slow
Redraw the battle lines

This pen, this stylus

This word, this thought
This virus

Redraw the battle lines

Thank you for all the wrong roads
You set me on
Now that time has gone
Time to move on

Thank you for
All the beautiful things
You tore apart
Played with my heart
Good to learn
Now it's my turn

All the toxic friends
Narcissistic, nihilistic
Thank you for your time
But now it's mine

All the world's a stage
(Caught me thinking bigger than infinity)
I watch your pages burn
(Don't go telling me)

I've got a few sheets left of the script you wrote for me
Floating round in my memory,
I've been folding them once,
Twice,
45 degrees and then again,
Then each end,
And then the tips
Of paper planes

Now I'll watch them fly
Let the wind decide
(It was good to learn)
We let the wind decide
(Now it's my turn)

You told me
(Never thought I'd learn)
You showed me

Yeah
Yeah

It was good to learn
(Redraw the battle lines)
Now it's my turn
