Ghosts and Straw Fields

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

Careful we've become too attached to our demises
Forget the things that are just listed by their prices
Pack my bags I'm tired of cleaning up after others messes
Go far away, please just get me out of Massachusetts
Cuz we're failing, just failing
Falling between the lines of the things
That would bring us happiness
And I'm tired
Tired enough to say so
What is fair? After all these years I couldn't say
Self involved I find people are blind to their potential
Another phrase another thing I wish you hadn't said
Let's fight old age these vessels are all that hold us back
Cuz we're aging, just aging
Falling between the lines of the things
That would bring us happiness
And I'm tired
Tired enough to say so
And I have faith that age is just a number
And I have faith that one thing leads to another
