Fighting Gravity- by: Brandtson

I talk to you all the time
the world thinks i'm crazy as crazy is
and i don't feel much different
fluorescent lights hum their incessant anthem
everything i believe and everything that holds me together at the seams
seems so far away from here
and we're all wondering where're we going?

and i wish my colors weren't so faded
i wish i didn't feel so cold
everyone's so slow and jaded
falling asleep to this midwestern drone

i feel like running everyday
away from this life that i've made
built to last a little too long
feeling trapped under my own weight
too heavy now to stand let alone fly
and i'm always watching the sky with jealous eyes

wish i'd finally fall apart
do something desperate to change things
changed my mind again just when i was getting brave
changed my mind again just when i was getting brave

somewhere over this city
high above the red brick chimneys
i know we can escape all this
it feels like fighting gravity
and where're we going?

and i wish my colors weren't so faded
i wish that i didn't feel so cold
and everyone's so slow and jaded
falling asleep to this midwestern drone
