Over the Clouds

VERSE ONE (Maulskull):

Times of peace
Overwritten with signs of grief
A celebrated departure from what you tried to keep
You fell away from it farther with every silent scene that echoed for the sake of applauding these old apologies
So ride the breezes on dying leaves til you lie beneath them
And find a reason and meaning to what you hide belief in
And if the deep end is freezing you when you try to leave
You'll only stop the dreaming just as soon as you decide to breathe it in
I saw familiar strangers in the shaded nights and walked among the silhouettes that hang beneath the painted lights
And as my scribbles get arranged between the pages lines
I’ll reminisce on innocence I wasted while they stayed behind
I made it mine and wore it like my bad reputation
And I embrace the war inside with sad speculations
And my escape was fortified with past separations from the time and place I glorified my last hesitations
So let me have these dreams that I won't live to touch
I swear I'll give them back to you as soon as someone gives a fuck
I promise you won’t have to do the same for me when shit is rough
Like calling up and asking you to stay for me was still enough
It's just another day
Another week
Another night of making blank wishes in anxious disbelief
I was anchored to my anger as it sank into the deep
Now I vanquish all my anguishes in languages I speak...

CHORUS:

I'm going higher
Yes I'm going higher
Over the clouds
Over the clouds...

VERSE TWO (Kno)

The clouds emitted from your red lips
Too proud to admit it I was breathless
Through the shroud of eclipse I would sense bliss til I made a vow to enlist through a french kiss
Open mouth then flip to a clenched fist
Those are tactics you chose to entrench with
Seems impractical now that the tent's flipped and what we had in the past is a dense mist
As I sat there defenseless
Cause you slashed right passed my defenses
Seen the passion to spoil my attentions
Words of madness the foil that you fence with
The turmoil that we slipped in
Turned the oil into smoke in an instant
Saw it rise as I fight your ascension
Over the clouds
A victim of addiction...

CHORUS:

I'm going higher
Yes I'm going higher
Over the clouds
Over the clouds...

VERSE THREE (AG Flux)

I'm trying to grasp what assisted this collapsed corruption
Twenty years trash perhaps a detached husband
Figured you had passed such brash concussions
Guess you were on a path that just lacked instructions
So he took it out of you fast like tax deductions
That seduction
I gave you hugs to restore faith
Bloody shattered love just added to divorce rates
No because
Slam the door shut on your poor face
You were determined on suburban dreams
He disturbed the scene
It’s sad to see these reoccurring themes
Another single mom shit
Left raising a teen
Queen
Not quite as strong when the king is gone
Another sad story campfire singalong
You can sing along
But please leave the bullshit you bring along
I know the rhetoric’s loud
It's hard to edit it out but keep climbing
Get your head out the clouds and say...

CHORUS:

I’m going higher
Yes I'm going higher...
