Black Balloon lyrics

[Black Balloon]

[Verse]
Stagger my way through the steam rising from the streets
Darkest part of town, only place to find peace
Drunk, high, bleeding, and disoriented
Wouldn't feel bad if this was where the story ended
Strange looks from the folks passing by
"Isn't that the guy who just a while ago was flying sky high?
Oh how the mighty have fallen"
I go to check my phone, no there's nobody calling
I just don't want to have to look these people in the eye
See the girl I was with earlier on tonight
Locking lips again, embracing some other guy
Get the urge to call her a sl*t, no, I'll let it slide
Cause it's my fault
sh*t, I'm wishing that God would just let the sky fall
They tell me it's the limit
Now I've hit rock bottom, I just want to get up in it
See the world from the highest pair of eyeballs: yours

[Hook: T-Squared]
Float high in the night sky, I'm a black balloon
Can only be seen in light, hope it happens soon
Just wanna give you a sign, but this'll have to do
Have to do
Have to do

Float high in the night sky, I'm a black balloon
Can only be seen in light, hope it happens soon
Just want you to see me fly, but this'll have to do
Have to do
Have to do

[Verse]
Now in unison, everyone look down and judge me
This paranoia's starting to bug me
Cause I'm broken and you all are so lovely, I want to be just like you
But there's no chance on this Earth, so this is what we've got here
I'm a black balloon, but you're the one full of hot air
I've got a lot more to say, but I'll stop there
Cause when I'm floating high in the night sky
I'm invisible to the naked eye
Can't look down on me when I stay so fly
I mean literally, cause I take the night
So who're you to judge, cause I'm doing fine
I blend in for now until the world is mine
I follow a map of my own design
Yeah, I'm doing fine, doing just...fine
[Bridge: QJ & T-Squared]
Time to rule the night
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Everything in sight
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Vibrant city lights
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Everything is mine
Oh yeah
Black Balloon

[Contin'ed: QJ]
Yo, Black Balloon
Come on, yo, Black Balloon
Haha, Black Balloon
Yo, Black Balloon

[Verse]
So as I sit on the curb
I find it a little absurd
That I'm inflated with all of these feelings, that I can't seem to put into words
Till the chips are down and there's nobody around, so that's why they remain unheard
That's why I'm all on my own with no one to keep me high, but that sh*t's for the birds
Cause I guide my own flight, I'm my own pilot with no wings for you to cut
No wax to melt, no fabric to rip, no engine to stall, no propeller to rust
And if by chance I somehow do fall, you won't even get to see it, in the night I trust
To keep me shrouded in the darkness, safe from your judgment, no bubble for you to bust, no
[Hook]
