Somewhere my heart is aching
Sitting alone singing Owen songs to itself
And I don't care, no not anymore
Sometimes life's like a hot air balloon going nowhere
A chance to rise above
And look down
At that unforgiving ground
I feel like a ghost when the sun is out
Reaching for a face I just can't touch
My hands are numb from icing my wounds
Blood from the mouth from biting my tongue when I
Go off the deep end
As stable as a newborn child trying to walk
As useful as a broken watch when I try to talk
I'd say the clouds have it easier
But even they feel grey sometimes
An open field of straw in my dreams
Stumbling upon a girl laying alone
But I fear I'll be like this for always
And I fear I'll be alone forever
