Dimitri Mendeleev

[Hook] I dreamed up the maps Give me charcoal and the paper now We invent paths they cannot see And they're too scared t' walk Between my hands rests fifty-two plain old playing cards And I trapped God somewhere between The trump and the kind of hearts [Bridge] Joni Mitchell said "We are stardust We are golden, we are all the same" Blood paints the story of our love Across the bathroom floor towards the drain Funny how everything just piles up, till one day You can't believe how far you came I'm made of mountains, made of metal Made of whiskey, and waves! You won't believe your own breath When the bold words finally escape your mouth Keep your secrets hidden Till yer certain of just what we've found Yeah, they bleed just like us But our calling is what shapes us now Won't be held back, won't be tied up Won't be pinned down (x4) Won't be held back Won't be - not now! [Hook] [Verse 2] It came to me, as strange as it seems From a simple deck of cards laid ace to kings With my fingernail slipped under King Charlemagne I flipped the edge and traced the grain And watched it fall like a breaking wave The ace of spades was last to splash Trump to suicide kings, they all turned Bicycle backs I stared at the pattern, a pair of seraphim flashed And it just fit, elegant, "aww shit!". That's that Its strange how you can waste away pained with one thing The watchmaker breaks sweat, he can't tame a dumb spring Then one day its as plain as the nose above your smug grin Like, "look what the cat dragged in!" Woke from a dream, hands heavy in cold sweat Jumped from the bed, snatched the charcoal quick Sketching frantically upon the bedroom brick It came together and it fit like this: "Give me a lever and a place to stand, I'll move the world" You think you're clever, but you never, seen how it really works [Hook]
