I’m down below so I can learn to rise
I’m up above to fall right from the sky
And I'm dividing so we'll all have enough
But I am wasting so we'll all have it tough
If we move slowly, then I think that we’ll have time
It’s never easy to forgive a man his crimes
I’ve been learning how a problem gets ignored
I'm eating now so I can throw up when I’m bored

I'm only explaining
Hoping you get confused
I’m only confusing
To clear things up for you
I'm illuminating
To help the world go blind
I’m losing my vision
So that I’m able to guide

I'm only explaining
Hoping you get confused
I’m only confusing
To clear things up for you
I'm illuminating
To help the world go blind
I’m losing my vision
So that I’m able to guide

I do it gently to make sure it gets disgraced
I keep my eyes closed ‘cause it helps me see your face
I’m so happy, so happy I could cry
Desperate enough to have a little patience
Too much passion can be painful for the mind
I move slowly so that we don’t fall behind
Too much life and everything goes black
I say goodbye so that I can come right back

I'm only explaining
Hoping you get confused
I’m only confusing
To clear things up for you
I'm illuminating
To help the world go blind
I’m losing my vision
So that I’m able to guide

I'm only explaining
Hoping you get confused
I’m only confusing
To clear things up for you
I'm illuminating
To help the world go blind
I’m losing my vision
So that I’m able to guide
