Heavy Balloon

(álbum: Quicksand - 2021)

People like us we play
With a heavy balloon
Keep it up to keep the devil
At bay but it always falls way
Too soon

People like us we play
With a heavy balloon
We keep it up to keep the devil
At bay but it always falls way
Too soon

People like us
We play with a heavy balloon
We keep it up to keep the devil
At bay but it always falls way
Too soon

I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams

In the middle of the days
Like the summer does
The heroin is staring me down
Forcing all forms of life inside
Of me to retreat underground
It grows relentless
Like the teeth of a rat
It's just to keep on gnawing
At me
It constricts like a ball
On a hose
Nothing flows, so the pressure
Grows instead the sea

People like us get so heavy
And so lost sometimes
So lost and so heavy
That the bottom is
The only place that we can find
We get dragged down
Down to the same spot
Enough times in a row
The bottom begins
To feel like the only safe place
That you know

But you know what
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I've been sucking it in so long
That I'm bursting at the seams

I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans

I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
And I'm bursting at the seams
I spread like strawberries
I climb like peas and beans
