Lyrics
BREAK THE CEILING
i want my turn; i?m too tired
of the playing; time so wasted.
i?m too hungry from the worry,
turning over, heart is frozen.
every green light, yellow, red when i get there;
every sweet line filled my ears,
now i don?t care.
try to stop me, think you?ve got me;
but i could break out if you?d come round.
but every green light, yellow, red when i get there;
every sweet line fills my ears,
now i don?t care.
break the ceiling, and i?m reeling from the sound
of my dreaming: falls like shards into the ground.
flame still flickers when i trip it,
almost dying, but still trying.
but every green light, yellow, red when i get there;
every sweet line fills my ears
til i don?t care.
break the ceiling, and i?m reeling from the sound
of my dreaming: falls like shards into the ground.
turning over, heart is frozen: you could warm me.
could you warm me...
break the ceiling, and i?m reeling from the sound
of my dreaming; falls like shards into the ground.
i?m reeling from the sound of my dreaming: falls like shards.
