Have I Outgrown Minecraft?

Rolling out a map I get to work

I've always loved the smell of paper

Cartography is fun when we decide where everything resides

I hear a sound, i feel my chest puff up

Men, stand your ground, watch left, right, up, and down

Somewhere beyond that darkness someone is calling my name

Faintly I hear them say "dinner's done, turn off the game"

How many times must I write a sad song?

It's all been leading up to this day

A tune that I've been hearing all along

Creative gears, the bolts and screws of my brain

I've always felt it coming loose, turning grey

My skull will be a graveyard full of code

I'll feel it all erode

Somewhere beyond that darkness someone is calling my name

Faintly I hear them say "dinner's done turn off the game"

"Dinner's done, turn off the game"

"Dinner's done, turn off the-"

Have I outgrown Minecraft yet?

I don't really know

Every so often I go back

Build another home

Kicking up dirt, I mine a new path

I plant a seed or two

But I never stick around long enough to see it bloom (Oooo)

How many times must I die and restart?

It's all been leading up to this time

The real world's dim and I only live once

But getting to regen is getting old

I'm standing in the snow yet I'm not cold

Faintly I hear my name

"Dinner's done, turn off the game"

Bring me back to those days

"Dinner's done, turn off the game"

"Dinner's done, turn off the game"

"Dinner's done, turn off the-"

Have I outgrown Minecraft yet?

I don't really know

Every so often I go back

Build another home

Kicking up dirt, I mine a new path

I plant a tree or two

But I never stick around long enough to see how much it grew (Grew)

Does it matter how much I grew? (Grew)

The torches dim, I feel the dark cave in

I'm in the ground, it's over isn't it?

I feel so small

Two pixels tall and I

Won't make it home to eat that pie
