lyrics

From the comfy confines in the daylight of daily work
I can almost get by without even touching the surface of my skull
Staring in the window black jeans eyes almost shut
If I did this for a lifetime even death wouldn’t be a punctuation mark.

Calling from home I’ll tell my boss I'm not well
Call sick the right to fail to fall to love

Got a chance to do something better
Got a chance to break golden handcuffs

Up the steps you keep stepping up as you climb up to the throne
A hot air balloon there is hot in in you it's all a bit toy town
We’re not star crossed we never get dispossessed
We’re just working forever

Selling things then wedding rings is not right for me
I could lose myself in a vacuum with a little bit of money
