Ataris - Takeoffs And Landings lyrics

Go, run away in distress

try to hide from whats

creeping and crawling and stabbing within

try to deny the turmoil inside

if you fight yourself hard enough

you'll never win any ounce of serenity

or a calm hope at best (or a calm hope at best)

can leave you heaving on the floor

gasping for breath, are you gasping for breath

to be left on the floor gasping for breath

Chorus:

no he's not the person you are

or the person your trying to be

dont let the outside sway too far

from where you want to be

and at any cruel moments notice

you can ruin the best

as your body is brutally pressed

against the confines of your tense flesh

and if you close your eyes tight enough (none of the bad can get in)

and if you close your eyes tight enough (none of the light can get in)

the light cant get in (the light cant get in)

BOOM. you scream as the light hits you

it radiates throughout your whole soul

BOOM. the pain is clarity, it cleanses

and if it still fucking hurts

then you still fucking know, that you are still alive,

that you are still in control, if you would only take hold

BOOM. the day with both hands, a death grip

and a good chance to outlive your past

are you living free?

Chorus (x2)
