crash and burn

i am all that i could ever be
nothing more and nothing less
trials and tribulations of all i see
a hopeful and discouraging mess

i am a mountain waiting tried and true
standing so tall with everything that i do
with so much sunlight and so much patience
solid still with too much radiance

half of me underwater just praying for the light
the other half so lonely and tired of this night
i shake and crumble to wake my weary friends
but their eyes stay closed because this night has no end

if i crumble and fall i think it would be for the best
into tiny little rocks indistinguishable from the rest
many little fragments of many little memories
the happy and the sad and the unforgettable memories

i was a mountain trying to reach the heavens
just to find out it was for the best to crash and burn
i tried so hard to be different.. just to be different
but i was just a mountain ready to crash and burn
