Cycle

Higher and higher I'm floating up in the sky towards you

Why can't I keep my feet on the ground?

Tossing & turning the fuel that's fueling my desire

I wish I had fallen back down to the ground

 

Now that you've stolen my eyes

Lead me to the sky where I can be seen

Just hold me, hold me up high

As long as you can bear it or until I redeem

 

Faster & faster I'm falling I don't think I'll make it

What is this coming at me so vast?

Wait just a minute I think that I'm starting to get it

I can't see myself, I am trapped in a cast

 

Now that you've broken my fall

Hold me close within your filthy embrace

Soak me up, soak me in deep

Then burn me till I vanish without a trace

 

I don't think I'm coming out today

I think I'll just stay inside

I wouldn't want to ruin your day

Just know that I'll be back for you

 

Higher & higher, faster & faster

I'm floating up I'm falling down for you

It's just what I do
