“Flying on egg shells”
Come on down-
before the gravity gets ya-
you’re looking for Jesus up there right?
One balloon-
didn’t get you off the ground-
but a couple more gave a little fight.
Come on down-
before the people get ya.
Their throwing rocks at all your hope.
They say you think too much.
Just take it at face value-
but the mask is ugly and broke.
Sid found drugs.
Then he found some true meaning-
before they locked him in a room with pads.
Mom found god.
The Doctors found bleeding.
Then they laid her in the dirt next to dad.
Come on down-
before the truth hits ya-
and you realize those balloons aren’t real.
When you crash back down-
you know **** well its gonna hurt-
but you realize life's about what you feel.
