on this cloud

lyrics

So it begins, a journey without end,
And a beginning hardly worth rememberin’.
The rain is pouring thin, yet it’s soaked into my skin
And I can’t be the only one who’s shiverin’.
This winter has been warm, and my nerves they have been torn,
And my fingers, their calluses are crackin’.
&
The planets in my mind, and all the stars, become aligned
And I suppose I’m all alone in seein’ them,

But I can’t stop now,
While I’m on this cloud,
And I’m lookin’ down
To find the reason I’m around.

By the time that this is through, like everything I do,
Would it be worth it, can I call myself a writer?
Something’s stirring in my soul, but my blood is running cold,
And I hope that it won’t put out this fire.
&
The oceans in my mind are getting ready to collide
With the planets that are falling from the sky,

But I can’t stop now,
While I’m on this cloud,
And I’m lookin’ down
To find the reason I’m around.

At twenty-four years old I’ve grown less wise, but
Slightly bold, and I’m hoping that somebody will listen.
I know it’s a lot to ask from a world that’s turned it’s back
On the artists, they think we’re all just pissin’
&
The planets in my mind come crashin from behind, and my
Fingers and vocal cords are blisterin’

But I can’t stop now…
