I always ask Eric about the songs he writes, and for this one he said something along the lines of this song being about how drunk people think they are enlightened. ha.
lyrics
we sat down and talked it out
on the front porch where you'd howl at the moon
most every night
you shared your thoughts on love and life
before you held me down against my will
to addressed my throat with a knife
gave me the rope and you told me to climb
up to the top of the highest mountain
where i could see the sky
at first i saw nothing more than the planes
they filled the sky like air would your veins
it's a crime how we all rely
dust of your shaking hands
you're gonna need them soon enough
i've gotta show you something you wont believe
gave me the rope and you told me to climb
up to the top of the highest mountain
where i could see the sky
at first i saw nothing more than the planes
they filled the sky like air would your veins
it's a crime how we all rely
you and me
we got nothing to hide
gave me the rope and you told me to climb
up to the top of the highest mountain
where i could see the sky (through your bloodshot eyes)
at first i saw nothing more than the planes
they filled the sky like air would your veins
it's a crime how we all deny
