Canyon, can you help me out
I need a foot hold
I need solid ground

Let the water carve a path
Erode the things that made me whole
Draw a line across the sand

So you know exactly where I stand

Canyon, can you take me down

To the bottom
Where I can't be found
I look up and all I see are

Miles and miles of sky staring back at me

Simple subtlety escapes me

A bridge across the sky to cut the great divide
Delusions of grandeur blur the line
Between who I am and what I need

I am holding my breath with every step I take
I'm holding on to very mistake I make
And I feel it coming down and I can't escape

An endless canyon separates me
From who I am and who I want to be
What's the measure of a man

If he can't even stand on his own two feet
