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 05:25
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 04:33
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
