Light This City - Fear of Heights Lyrics
At times, when my mind wanders with my feet, My thoughts reach their destination before my bodyLike a recurring dream, I find myself traveling to lands I thought beyond my reachSo new and different from my actual hideawayAnd before I return to that same familiar gateWords come together magnetically, Clearing way through the mess of obscurityThe knot of doubts restraining meThey form perfect letters to you in my imaginationAnd, when finally confessed, grant my releaseBodies bare of pretence, timid and undressedDo you mean to win me with these praises and offences?Why ignore me if you profess to adore me?I didn't think you could stand the sight of meAt least you spoke honestly; my refusal was based on damaged pride, Not an aversion to your advancesObsessed with visions of the world, of night in distant placesWhat lies outside of constancy? Outside of these fences?Passing the blurry lights, it's not my eyes, It's the world that's unfocused, distractedI'm well acquainted with your inelegance and viceYou're still more graceful than the nightThat falls in each city with a sprawling indelicacyI'm straying further from homeFrom my safe routine; and you're trying to find your ownCan you blame me for inexperience? Just listen; it's all the sameBodies bare of pretence, timid and undressedDo you mean to win me with these praises and offences?Why ignore me if you profess to adore me?Somehow I've been lifted high above the tops of trees, From this frightening height, The buildings seem to be flattened in the streetsI tell myself, "Don't look down, There's no way to plummet charmingly"And when I do I know you'll say "What a pity, She's just not what I expected her to be."But I can't let my fear of heights get the best of meAs my mind and body journey together in a parallel realityI realize that if I'm falling, at least I'm freeI never want my feet to take me home
