Im holding on to white balloons
Up against the sky of doom
Tell me you see them
Cause whats inside of me is invisible to most
Even in clear view
Im sending out a signal
To the possibility of you
Cause right at this moment
I know youre connected to a part of me
That I dont even know myself
The changes in me
Are likely to be like the weather
Stormy and clear
Strength into fear bound together
But Ill break my silence
If I believe that you and me
Could ever be more than just
Whats been behind us
I tried and left they came and went
I got rejected out again
But no one believes me
Ive worn a hundred faces
Of the characters and placements
And now nobody sees me
The changes in me
Are likely to be like the weather
Cloudy at best
Angels lift me
Are you with me?
Im holding on to you like
Im holding on to white balloons
Carry me away
I hope that you dont break
Cause whats inside of me is invisible to most
Even in clear view
