Miss Black America - Helium lyrics

rate me

When love's young dream has let you down

All you want is escape

But you're all

Talk, talk - let your tongue masturbate

Talk, talk - who controls their own fate?

Talk, talk - 'til the words run down your face and into mine

"Things just went wrong too many times"

Lies are not freedom

We're lighter than air

We talk without sound

We think without thought

Our feet don't touch the ground

And we don't wish on stars

We shoot them down, yes

When we inhale

When we inhale

We are hilarious

Helium

Tonight's the night for us to prove absolutely nothing

Time and again and again

'Cause we're all

Talk, talk - words alone cannot win

Talk, talk - and the lies might sink in

Talk, talk - it could almost mean something

But it's just words

In the half-light between binge and purge

We are senseless forever

We're lighter than air...

You call this "home", but it stinks

It stinks

Well, maybe home is where the heart is

But if I cared about my heart then I'd quit smoking

If I cared about my heart then I'd quit puking

Let's burn this town to the ground

We're lighter than air...

We're on the run from something we cannot leave behind

And we run 'cause we're too scared and too cheap to fly

We don't face our problems, we just complicate them

When we inhale

When we inhale

It's desperation

Helium.
