Mountain of a Man

I built myself a mountain So I could always look down on All the little houses And everything inside From up there on high I seem to change completely From one person to the next Until I find myself sleeping There's nothing behind the man Cause a shadow's all I am And if you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me An echo of your values From one unto the next I wish I could tell you That I am more than this I give myself my reasons To change into your being Thank God you know this image And not the man hidden within it To say I built a mountain To give into my hubris I always shy away from That I am wholly useless I am nothing more than The shadow of the mountain It's quite the view up here If you can live with being insincere I slither in and out of The character that I am Cause if you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me And if I could see through All the things I've turned myself into Just to be enough to Be the one for you But I am nothing more than A shadow of a mountain An echo of a boy who Couldn't live with himself I give myself my reasons To change into your being Thank God you know this image And not the man hidden within it To say I built a mountain To give into my hubris I always shy away from That I am wholly useless Cause if you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me If you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me If you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me If you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me If you knew me truly You'd know there's nothing to me
