Halfway Down The Sky

There was a bright light
But it was an off white
Upside down memory

1:
I'm caught in a landslide
I'm caught in a joyride
As my blood
Begins to thin

2:
You say it's a fact
You say it's a feeling
To stab in my back

So long, sorry
It makes me cry (it makes me sad)

So wrong, so rare
But i don't feel
And you're not there
And i don't want you back

Well you had a hard day
Of pushing me away
Please don't push
I fall easily

Well you put a hard strain
Hard on the membrane
I react to words you say

It's not like i care
It's not like i'm bleeding
Or numb everywhere

But i don't
Cause i stopped spinning around for you

There was a bright light
But it was an off white
All the world came
Crashing down

Repeat 1

Repeat 2

But i don't feel it coming on again

It's making me high
Cause i stopped spinning around for you

I've been to london
I've sailed a ship around the world
I've counted angels
I've seen a tangerine girl

And though it's leading me on
And though i know that it's wrong
And though i'm living my dream
I still can't seem to move on

I've swallowed aspirin
I've seen the white of my own eyes
I've felt the hunger
I've swallowed handfuls of flies

I've watched the felines
I've watched them scratch
My skin away
I've tripped the land mines
I've watched them
Blow my face away

I still can't finish this song

As she sang on

Better be good, i've said
Better be bad, i've done
Better be told what you want
Better believe in what?

Better to think about it
Better to live without it
Better be told what you want
Better believe in what?

You think you're so special
You think you're so clean
You think you're just better than me

Well first i chew you in
And then i spit you out

Better to leave, i doubt
Better to talk, about it
Better be told what you want
Better believe in what?

I wanna let go
I wanna stay home
And be myself
I wanna let go
I wanna stay home
I'm justified

You think it gets better than this?
But should i take you in?

I won't tell you my name
I avoid all those things
All together
I'm so high

Well i know it was dumb
Staring right at the sun
Stoned forever

Well it won't be the first or the last time
The world passes by

I'm a spaceboy
I don't want to be found
I'm a spaceboy
So stop holding me down
And i'd love
If i never returned to the ground

Well can we still be friends?
Well i guess that depends
How's the weather from so high?

Well i know it's a shame
Why do you cause all this strain
All together

Well it won't be the first or the last
Time i wanted to try

I'm a spaceboy
I don't want to look down
I'm a spaceboy
I've been floating around

And i'd love
If i never returned to the ground
I can see all the world going by

I'm a spaceboy
I don't want to be found
I'm a killjoy
So stop holding me down
And i'd love
If i never returned to the ground

Got myself a job
Gonna move up that corporate ladder
Follow in the footsteps of all my friends

Have another cigarette

So why you tripping on me?
I can't take all the pressure
Gotta find some way to cope with this

Have another cigarette

And live 'til you die

I'm not afraid
I'm unafraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

Blind to the wind, the news
And the culture
Deaf to the sound that leaks
From your voice
Take a deep breath and pray
For a second one

Have another cigarette

So what do you think of me now?
I'm not here to impress you
I'm not the one who's insecure

Springtime, jesus, flower, firefly
Sister, sunday, winter, mother

Start learning to fall

I could never be like this
I could never be like this
Start learning how to fall down
Will you ever believe me?
Will you never be with me?
Start learning to crawl

Springtime, jesus, flower, mother

there's a lot of things i understand,
And there's a lot of things,
That i don't want to know.
But you're the only face,
I recognize, it's so damn sweet of you,
To look me in the eyes.
It's all right, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain
I'm relieved, i'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
The scent of vaseline,
In the summertime,
The feel of an ice cube,
Melting over time,
The world seems bigger than both of us,
Yet it seems so small,
When i begin to cry.
It's all right, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain
I'm relieved, i'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
I'm so much better than you guessed,
I'm so much bigger than you guessed,
I'm so much brighter than you guessed.
It's all right, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain
I'm relieved, i'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
I'll get off of your back,
I think god can explain.
I think god can explain.
I think god can explain.

When i'm asleep
I leave the light on
And try to breathe
Relive the moment i was born
I feel the breeze
It feels electric
Then mockery
Another headache i reject

Suppose the feeling's real
You'd never know
Suppose it's what you feel
You'll never know

That's what i don't understand
That's what i don't know

Now i'm awake
I leave the light on
And take a swim
Beneath the rocks and undertow
I try to scream
I don't remember where i've been
A trampoline
Another lack of oxygen

Suppose the feeling's real
You'd never know
Suppose it's what you feel
You'll never know

I open my mouth but there's
Nothing to swallow down
I'm scratching my face like there's
Something, farther down

It's like a drug
I turn the light off
And pull the plug
But still it always comes back on

Suppose you change your mind
And back again
Suppose you had more time
And adrenaline
