lyrics

I was flying a kite and my feet left the ground
Before I knew, I was up in the clouds,
I held on too long now i can't let go
this flight will kill me if I do or don't,

so scared I can't look down
I want to fall, but fear the ground
I can't be me, if I don't feel free
If I'm not free, I can't be me

I'm scared,
I never was prepared
or ready for the lack of love
for everyone,

I hate what we've become,
perpetuating cycles of
the wrong they've done,

to us,
I'm hanging from a kite,
I didn't even want to fly
we're born to die

but why?
I never was prepared
or ready for the lack of love
for everyone,

I used to think I can't wait to go get high
floating on those clouds up in the sky,
All I want to be is on solid ground,
in a room with no sound and nobody else around,

i lived my lies and felt those sins
It gets so hard to wear this skin
It can't be me, if I don't feel free
I am too high, I cannot breathe

atlus was strong and held the world, "I would if I could do it."
who we become it feels like fate, "I coudn't change a thing"
our parent's sins becomes our burden, "it gets so heavy."
atlus set down the world and walked away, "I mean, can you really blame him?"

I always question my anatomy. "I never felt right being me"
I want to fight off my humanity. "all the pain that love can bring."
what if we learned from all of our mistakes? "it doesn't really happen."
my kite collides with an aeroplane

the kite and aeroplane collide
the kite and aeroplane collide
