I'm looking for a sign that I can't see The good the bad is somewhere in between These warning signs, and the servant grinds, me down The kids are building fires by their homes The smoke is sending signals out in code These safety suits, these parachutes I don't know Gotta stop, drop, roll When all these walls come down They'll shake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless Oh when all these stars hit ground They'll wake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless I'm choking on the words that I cant say My lungs are full but everything's misplaced And these junkyard dogs, these cherry bombs, go off The sun, the sky, the moon will fall apart Come tumbling down just like a house of cards These fire escapes, and this lush landscape, it fades When all these walls come down They'll shake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless Oh when all these stars hit ground They'll wake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless Weightless I can feel this heavyweight hanging around my neck I can feel your heartbeat bringing me back Back again When all these walls come down They'll shake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless Oh when all these stars hit ground They'll wake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless Be weightless Be weightless
