(Verse 1)
Both feet on the ground while I'm elevating
Rope tied with a node that I cannot be tightening
Road iced as magma when it comes to thinking
I've been losing my mind, I don't know what I'm saying
The air is heavy but the floor is thinning
The end is here before the first beginning
(Pre-Chorus)
Is it the world that's spinning, or just me?
Locked in a cage but I threw away the key
I’m a flicker in the frame, I’m a glitch in the light
Just a midday shadow in the middle of the night
(Chorus)
My eyes are closed even when I'm blinking
I guess in my dream is where I'm living
Nothing feels real, as if I was a lie
I'm standing still while I'm passing by
I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there
I’m climbing up a ghost of a spiral stair
The sky is a floor and the ocean is dry
I’m a heavy truth in a hollowed-out guy
Yeah, I’m wide awake but I’m barely conscious
I’m the silent scream in a world of promise
Nothing feels real, as if I was a lie
I'm standing still while I'm passing by
(Verse 2)
The walls are sweating in a room of marble
My loudest scream is nothing but a gargle
Gravity’s a suggestion I’m starting to ignore
I’m knocking on the ceiling, looking for the floor
If I wake up now, will the colors all fade?
Or am I just a shadow that the light betrayed?
(Bridge)
I’m the echo of a sound that was never made
I’m the debt of a price that was never paid
Is it cold? Is it heat?
Is the pavement moving underneath my feet?
I’m a ghost in the static, a crack in the glass
Watching the future turn into the past!
(Chorus)
My eyes are closed even when I'm blinking
I guess in my dream is where I'm living
Nothing feels real, as if I was a lie
I'm standing still while I'm passing by
I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there
I’m climbing up a ghost of a spiral stair
The sky is a floor and the ocean is dry
I’m a heavy truth in a hollowed-out guy
Yeah, I’m wide awake but I’m barely conscious
I’m the silent scream in a world of promise
Nothing feels real, as if I was a lie
I'm standing still while I'm passing by
(Outro)
Both feet on the ground...
But I'm elevating.
I'm standing still...
While I'm passing by.
I think I'm passing by...
