Lyrics

I finally burnt the letters you sent to me
I tried so long not to let the past be
It is hard to look back objectively
When it all came in so personally
Banging my head up against the wall
At a complete loss of what to do with it all
I am strung out on confusion, over contemplation
And I drive myself into a pit of frustration

I am floating, floating, floating, floating down
I was so high above myself I could barely see the ground
And now I am free, now I’m free

All the writing etched into the brick wall
Stuck inside it’s hard to see it all
And the riddles keep rhyming like a fool in a maze
I am searching for answers right in front of my face

I climbed so high, never looked down
Years raced by, I was enticed by the sound
Of a sweet promise, a supposed-to-be
In a pre-empted affair with stagnancy

I am floating, floating, floating, floating down
I was so high above myself I could barely see the ground
Now I stumble on my feet, land flat on my chest
But I’ve got what it takes to walk right on out of this mess
Yeah, cuz now I’m free, yeah, now I’m free

You spin in your world, I will twist in mine
And there is no connection between our lines
‘Cuz we are lost in semantics of the daily conversation
And with one step out I know it’s not just my imagination

I pick up the pieces scattered all around
And it feels so damn good to finally touch the ground
I will wear these scars without remorse
‘Cuz every lesson learned has got to take its course

And I am floating, floating, floating, floating down
I was so high above myself I could barely see the ground
Now I’m floating, floating, floating, floating down
And I am walking sure-footed right out of this town
Yeah, ‘cuz now I am free, yeah and now I’m free
I was so high above myself,
Now I am free
