One Month - One Plane - One Song / December 2009

ORY - NCE

When I came down the dawn poured into me
I shook 'em up the walls came crumbling
My thin skin trembling with these salty wounds
My stolen gold inside the emperor's tomb
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
I build this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
Within the confines of such chemistry

It's the way I see
Everything I need
It's no way to be

Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me
Up and up we keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher

My face blew up at such a casual sight
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
The rush above me to oblivion
Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen
Have you ever felt so goddamned strong?
How come it takes some people so damn long?
He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
The citrus drawing out the scene in stains

Watch the basin drain
As your lifelines wane
And you can't explain
As your friends complain

You've caused all this pain
And you proudly shamed
Your whole family's name

Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me
Up and up we keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher

Mother, I can tell what you've been thinking
Staring at the stars on your ceiling
Thinking once there was power that you were wielding
But now I've hit the mark, stabbing at the dark
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me
Up and up we keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
