as an anchor I sank to the bottom of the sea
that’s where I became a fish until a fisherman caught me
I looked into his eyes and knew he’d cut off my head
so I became his knife so much blood I had shed
in world wars one, two, and three
all the lives I took never knew it was me
the tree that grew from their graves in the ground
no one was there to watch them chop me down

I don’t want no easy way out
and I know it’s kind of strange but I like a little pain
I don’t seek your sympathy
and I don’t expect you to believe in my reincarnated… symphony
a little dream is all you need
to reinvent a symphony
“don’t be sad I know you will”
and don’t you know you still give me the chills
I know it’s a trip
because colors are coming from out of the ground
I know if I slip
I’ll never get my feet back from up off the ground
I know it’s a trip if I slip and I love you
summer is almost over
who knows how long I’ve lived

in my next life as a dog believe me I had my days
but I died all alone in this world as a stray
soon I was found a pachyderm southbound
your body would shake as I walked the ground
6 ft deeps where I would sleep as worm digging holes
all night I would squirm and I'd squirm somemore

in my last life I finally became a human
it was by far the most confusing
life that I ever did live
but i wouldn't change a thing believe me
today and yesterday are never the same no
I did what I had to do to be right here with you
