lyrics

To you, I live in the real world with you, but I don’t feel like I do:
shapes among shapes among shapes
Toes hit the ground, they don’t make a sound,
I was brought up to be quiet.
Toes hit the ground, spin round and round,
swirling up dust when I’m sure that I’m alone.

We are carrying our clouds every day, along with all our other things
we are carrying our clouds every day and they’re getting in the way

To me, there are limited options for living
don’t you see, a thousand colours of the same shirt?
Metal hits ground, we don’t make a sound,
we were brought up to be quiet.
Metal hits ground, digs down, deep down
and I’m drawn in too.
I too want a car, I too wanna leave town.

I pledge allegiance to the right to life not earned, the stars, the dirt
I pledge allegiance to the right to life not earned, not on your terms

To you I live in the real world with you, but I’m not sure If I want to.

We are carrying our clouds every day, along with all our other things
we are carrying our clouds every day and they’re getting in the way
