Higher

Higher

Heart beats, I barely feel it
My body has turned cold
In this lifetime I might never reach it
A place that knows no despair

Take me higher
And leave me there
I'm surviving even when you disappear
And let me down

Wrapped up in what I'm doing
Such a pretty distraction
Running seems to be everyone's answer even though they can put you through it
And it wasn't what I was after

Down, down I drown
Can't figure anything out
Not even how to steer my own life

Once I thought I had a hold
All in my control
But the skies are laughing that I'm just a child
Have a long way to go
And I might never know
