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
