The Shire, Pt. 2 - Threshold

Once there was a man of many means

Inherited from someone else’s dreams

He said one day, I’ll plough and sow the seeds

If only I could learn to tame the weeds

But every time I get to the end

I turn round and start again 'cause they’re coming back

Can’t take it anymore, can’t take it anymore

Tell me what is this for 'cause

I just can’t wait any longer

My heart won’t beat any stronger

This life is not for me

So off he went and bought some new machines

And chemicals to subjugate the weeds

But now the roots had multiplied and grown

And crowded out the seeds that he had sown

And underneath the setting sun

Now he knew it

All the soil was too ill to comb

And no way through

And every time I get to the end

I turn round and start again 'cause they’re coming back

Can’t take it anymore, can’t take it anymore

Tell me what is this for 'cause

I just can’t wait any longer

My heart won’t beat any stronger

This life is not for me

But every time I get to the end

I turn round and start again 'cause they’re coming back

Can’t take it anymore, can’t take it anymore

Tell me what is this for 'cause

I just can’t wait any longer

My heart can’t beat any stronger

This life is not for me

This life is not for me
