Higher

(album: Drinking From The Sun, Walking Under Stars (Restrung) - 2016)

Life tempo unsustainable
Try and end all war, my days are full
Tired ankles till I can't escape it all
A dying hope of the unattainable
Driving this road's like lucid dreaming
Sleep through the daytime, fly through the evening
If I don't dream and give life to my demons
Then please don't wake me, I'll die while I'm sleeping
Man I swore I never been here before
This tour's like a storm, blew me up on the shore
Don't know if I'm coming or going or who's running this show
And whether it's curtains or encore
And everyday I spend, space and dimension
Feeling like I snap so free from the tension
Breaking the connection, chasing my redemption
Looking in the wrong place for perfection
I brought a piece of the road into the peace of our home
You the cornerstone of every bit of peace that I've known
But this fever to roam, I can't leave it alone
It claws at my flesh and it's deep in my bones
The music brought me back to life
But it was you that bought the sacrifice
Lost time, lost sleep, lost point of view
Lost I, lost me, lost all but you

[James Chatburn:]
If we go higher
Tryna take the clouds
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Lost in the nether
Only way is down
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Still we go higher
Tryna sate this thirst
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Till we fly into the sun
And fall in flames to Earth
Earth, Earth
Ooo-ooo-oo

Higher
Higher
Higher
Ooooh

She used to say
You make me wanna run to you
I'm so proud of your accomplishments
Looked at me like I had hung the moon
Now she looks at me like I'm blocking it
Cause when you're deep on a tour, no rest
Not feeling human, like you failed the Turing test
She don't want you to bounce too soon man
I feel like Andy Kaufman, the Man on the Moon, and
When I'm feeling half-human
I'm still hard to kill like Vents and Rasputin
And when life get to booting
You gotta hit 'em with the fire, Street Fighter, Hadouken
Twenty-four-seven ride the clouds on a seven-four-seven
Like how? Damn
I've never felt more pleasant then I have right now
Shook to life by the landing gear
Inflight radio playing Chandelier
Now I'm standing here with no standing room
Waiting on an old man to grab a bag or two
Then he tipped his hat and asked what I do
I said 'dude this is what I do'
And I'mma be consumed by all this so called fun
I'mma burn up soon tryna touch the sun

[James Chatburn:]
If we go higher
Tryna take the clouds
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Lost in the nether
Only way is down
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Still we go higher
Tryna sate this thirst
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Till we fly into the sun
And fall in flames to Earth
Earth, Earth
Ooo-ooo-oo

Higher
Higher
Higher
Ooooh
Higher
Higher
Higher
Ooooh

[James Chatburn:]
Higher
High-igh
I-igh!
Oooh
If we go higher
Tryna take the clouds
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Lost in the nether
Only way is down
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Still we go higher
Tryna sate this thirst
Ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Till we fly into the sun
And fall in flames to Earth
Earth, Earth

Higher
Higher
Higher
Ooooh
