Heavy Balloon
People like us we play with a heavy balloon
Keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon
People like us we play with a heavy balloon
We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon
People like us we play with a heavy balloon
We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams
In the middle of the day
Like the sun, but that Saharan one, it's staring me down
Forcing all forms of life inside of me to retreat underground
It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat
It's just to keep on gnawing at me
It constricts like a ball on a hose
Nothing flows, so the pressure grows instead of the sea
People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes
So lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place that we can find
We get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row
The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know
But you know what
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
And I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans

Quicksand
It isn’t easy growing up when you’re afraid of sinking down
Suffocating, anticipating
A deep hole in the ground
Full of quicksand
I thought the wicked twisting fingers of a stormy summer sky
Or the monsters in the water would be likely way to die
But the danger that consumed me was the thought of drowning dry
Beneath the quicksand
Falling into quicksand
Well I am older, none the wiser, but I overcame the dread
To discover that the fury would ever rage within my head
And I worry over failing in my marriage, in my muse
About the father and the mother I am terrified to lose
I am scared of cruel leaders and a world gone up in flames
And the very troubled neighbors
And the consequence of pain
And it feels like quicksand
Falling into quicksand

Someday
In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday
Someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes
Sometimes
When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always
Always
Promises, they break before they're made
Sometimes
Sometimes
Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you want to stand by my side
Darling, your head's not right
Ah, see, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
No, I ain't wasting no more time
And now my fears they come to me in threes
So I
Sometimes
Say, fate, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find, sometimes
Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth
Shit, I will try my best
You say you want to stand by my side
Darling, your head's not right
Ah, see, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
I ain't wasting no more time

Endless Running Out Of Time
Count the days away
So few of them remain
Watch the moments fade
The light before the rain
From the hands upon the numbers
To the edges of my mind
There’s a grieving ache for what’s at stake
In the endless running out of time
Bring me consolation
Where past and present meet
Stories from my childhood
Lay them at my feet
Leave the pain of losing
For in all of it I find
Nothing quite so bitter or so sweet
As the endless running out of time
Who am I to live and die
To dream, to breath, to burn
That I exist is it a gift
I never could have earned
Until the ties are broken
This purpose will be mine
To hold you close, and try to slow
The endless running out of time
Who am I to live and die
To dream, to breathe, to burn
That I exist it is a gift
I never could have earned
One day I’ll meet my memories
In a moment so divine
Perfect love and ceasing of
The endless running out of time
