lyrics

I’d like to get to know you better so I’m doling out the pleasure,
it’s a trick to keep myself from getting better known
The heart gets so heavy it drops below the belly where I’m lullabied by familiar tones
Here is a letter, a feather, a song, a stone
Take them to your home
Where security stole freedoms throne, or did freedom leave on her own?

I’d like to tell you where I’m going but that would mean knowing which train is moving slow enough to take me on
The options are many yet none of them have any benefits for being riotous and married to the song
I was wrong when I said I was ready to hold something steady
I was selling him a vision I created in my head
He took a look at my hands, they were tossing up confetti

Here in my room I blow balloons I pace for hours in my party hat
I dangle these memories, I spin around and swing the bat
Swing the bat, I swing the bat

I gotta put another crease in the fantasy sheets, fill the pit with approval
it’s a daily task
The mind is a tiger you lay the meat beside her, if the bait won’t take try the joint or the flask
or just bask in this beautiful moment
All the delicate components
Surrender sounds easy, don’t it?
Till something comes along makes you say
Oh shit, I’ve gotta own it

Here in my room I blow balloons I pace for hours in my party hat
I dangle these memories, I spin around and swing the bat
Swing the bat, I swing the bat
till they're too scared to come back
