we're hung by wires
we're on the line
we're floating mid-air
why do we keep getting smashed to the ground?

my head sure glitters,
but i keep hearing, "this is all but gold."
and my blood keeps icing over
but my clothes are sweating off.

where's this screaming coming from?
i could never scratch my skin right off.
this stories all smiles,
but it's being deemed a tragedy.

i guess i never could understand
or learn to speak out loud
the views formed out of my own sight.

it's typical
to break routine
and to run our words in circles.

oh but, we're in the middle of a marathon
and the playlist is set to repeat
as the static in our chests
keeps blurring all the outlines
we should be picking up on with the lack of limits
we seem to define ourselves by.

she's so far up
but she stays on the ground
he's far away
but his words stay near.

roll your eyes to the back of your head
make sure you can't see the direction we're heading in
if you know, you'll be able to find your way back.
that's not allowed here.
