Balloons

(Album: Five Songs For Freddy - 2015)

So many years
So many dark memories
So many fears
We've now put to ease

Pain makes you do things
You never knew you could do
Is this all real?
Or just déjà-vu...?

But now the party's over
Now the guests are gone
It's already past our bedtime
It's already almost dawn

Just like balloons
We soar on our own
Finally free
From the pain of our home
And just like balloons
That no one will hold
Free from the truth
That no one will know

Just little children
Not at all strange
Until the lights went out
And everything changed

Alone and afraid
For oh so long
Wondering what did we do wrong?

'Cause now the party's over
And everyone is red
I feel sick to my stomach
Or am I sick in the head?

Just like balloons
We soar on our own
Finally free
From the pain of our home
And just like balloons
That no one will hold
Free from the truth
That no one will know

All of the pain
Far in the past
Yet echoes of screams
Forever will last

Just like balloons
We soar on our own
Finally free
From the pain of our home
And just like balloons
That no one will hold
Free from the truth
That no one knows
No one knows
