Balloon Blues

[Verse] Floatin' up high in the sky once lost now found Popped dreams tangled strings draggin' on the ground Rising then falling in this heavy air we breathe Colors bright but shadows deep life feels like a teethe [Verse 2] Helium laughter fades to a muffled cry Lift off from this dirt earth but always denied Broken chain like my soul lashed to the weight Silver hopes deflate in the hand of fate [Chorus] Oh those balloons tied to our hearts Carried away but always pulled apart Rise just to fall trapped in this gravity Balloons burst dreams ain't reality [Verse 3] Red green yellow blue promises to fly Let go the tether but never reach the sky Every climb a struggle wings clipped too soon Caged in our bodies balloon burst at noon [Bridge] Floating dreams tangled thoughts won’t stay Lost in the wind like words we can’t say Eternal horizon just out of touch Balloon dreams explode reality’s clutch [Verse 4] Scraping at heaven fingers grasping air Weight of this world got our spirits in dyspare Hold on to the string tight but not too strong Pop goes the heart when the tether feels wrong
