Woke up to a nightmare Where gravity disappeared Scrambling around mid-air Just to find no one's there Bright florescent light Hiding away midnight It's just not the same It doesn't feel right All this pretending Is bringing me nothing All this anger Is making me more empty Scrambling around in mid-air Just to find no one's there Spending everyday Breaking under pressure Over digging countless holes For some kind of treasure Just to have someone Fill them back up Send me out again And tell me I'm worthless All this pretending Is bringing me nothing All this anger Is making me more empty Scrambling around mid-air Just to find no one's there And I don’t know where I’ll go If this light bulb should break Falling down into a deep darkness That I’ve tried so hard to escape The same darkness I have made There are plenty of fish in the sea But none like you As the bottom feeders sank so low We swam way up high But we fell into a whirlpool And I didn't take it right Don't want any drugs Don't want any alcohol Just want you to know I'm still here after all Scrambling around mid-air Just to find no one's there https://spencercarlson.bandcamp.com/track/mid-air

Mid-Air
Woke up to a nightmare Where gravity disappeared Scrambling around mid-air Just to find no one's there Bright florescent light Hiding away midnight It's just not the same It doesn't feel right All this pretending Is bringing me nothing All this anger Is making me more empty Scrambling around in mid-air Just to find no one's there Spending everyday Breaking under pressure Over digging countless holes For some kind of treasure Just to have someone Fill them back up Send me out again And tell me I'm worthless All this pretending Is bringing me nothing All this anger Is making me more empty Scrambling around mid-air Just to find no one's there And I don’t know where I’ll go If this light bulb should break Falling down into a deep darkness That I’ve tried so hard to escape The same darkness I have made There are plenty of fish in the sea But none like you As the bottom feeders sank so low We swam way up high But we fell into a whirlpool And I didn't take it right Don't want any drugs Don't want any alcohol Just want you to know I'm still here after all Scrambling around mid-air Just to find no one's there https://spencercarlson.bandcamp.com/track/mid-air
