Floating

[Intro] [Verse 1] The cherry glows a bitter red To kill the noise inside my head I’m drifting through a static haze And burning up my better days I turn the volume down so low To hide the things I really know Drowning in the blue-light hum Paralyzed and feeling numb [Chorus] I’m reigning over nothing much And using habit as a crutch I wrap the static round my head And leave the hunger there unfed I'm floating in a gray lagoon Inside a quiet afternoon [Verse 2] The blueprint’s calling from the shelf I'm hiding out from my own self I flick the wheel to kill the light And trade the truth for one more night I call this drift a state of flow To hide the things I’ll never know I need a tribe inside the hall To tear the shadows off the wall [Chorus] I’m reigning over nothing much And using habit as a crutch I wrap the static round my head And leave the hunger there unfed I'm floating in a gray lagoon Inside a quiet afternoon [Instrumental Break ] [Bridge] I'm done with being barely there A ghost inside a leather chair I’m paddling out beyond the break For every chance I didn't take I’m trading "cool" for being great Before the hour gets too late I’m trading in the slow retreat To stand on my own two feet [Verse 3 ] The better man is cutting through To catch the set I finally knew I’m dropping in and riding fast To kill the ghosts of all the past I’m carving through the wall of green The strongest man I’ve ever been [Outro] Beyond the break... Into the blue. [End]
