Glass Balloon

No more heavy lungs addled by the way I was breaking and giving in I'd stay down for months barely breathing out But screaming to fill the void Speaking so carelessly Until I was so ready to go So ready to go So ready to go So ready to go So ask me why I never try to take good care of you I never really thought I ever needed to You were always so strong and pure Fragile like a glass balloon hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom Now so insecure I'm in love with hurting all the things that take me away from every nightmare that I lead No one wants to get out and hear the sounds Of a dead man drowning in a crowd With his tales from a time machine hiding in his skin So this is for the let downs and same old town Wrapped up inside of yourself and what you dream You are overrated and underplayed And the gift that you have betrayed is feeding your misery Thinning with your sins So make this the last time you scream Save my broken tongue Severed in the wake of obsession with giving in I lay down my guns Barely breathing out But dreaming to fill the void Living so carelessly Until I was so ready to go So ready to go So ready to go So ready to go
