Waking Rothko - Balloon lyrics

rate me

I imagine a balloon of people Just holding hands and feet Would catch in the wind and lift up Like a wavering peopled sheet See I never liked being social I found it a little perplexing What could I have in common With people who weren't me And what would they think If they caught me flexing in the mirror Making my superman face Just stretching to make a scar in it's place Look more like a cleft on my chin And I believe there's a time to begin I feel like I'm on the outside Looking into this people-shaped blur Writhing in this social stapler It spits them out Punching them through each other Start out total strangers Ending up as one night lovers I never started believing what they believed I never bothered with the habits that could hurt me And yet it's happened that I've opened up as I've aged And time in front of other people is like a big stage We can make a play on So tell me that your drive is way strong Cause that's sexy where I come from Trying to get away trying to move on Can't find the confidence and Shy girls want awkwardness and The music makes it so we have to stand this close I wonder if this is free She wants to complicate me And I want to tell her that I'm already Never find the confidence Never get the chance to get to you Now I find I can't break through
