lyrics

hot air balloon

deflated d reams - my attic holds
blue sky asleep - inside a casket
traces of A fire’s coals
my hot air balloon - and basket

i’m chained in town and growing sick
from dreams i’ve had my plan’s been drawn
school and house in anchored brick
my airship leaves - just after dawn

the buildings fell - a way beneath
the fire breathed - a thankful sigh
the houses seemed - like rooted teeth
below the milky - morning sky

i made it happen in my head
just hopeful illusions of grandeur
those promises that once were said
now dissipate into (the) empty air

my new perspective on the sky
almost makes this world seem kind
i know that i was meant to fly
it’s just t`he way we’re all designed

the clouds are silhouettes in bronze
i’m glad they join me on my way
i’ve always envied vagabonds
for the ease with which they stray

deflated d reams - my attic holds
blue sky asleep - inside a casket
traces of A fire’s coals
my hot air balloon - and basket
