about

I float away from Earth past the "clouds" and above the vultures in the aviary, which held me down against society. Past the portraits I made, that I used to hold myself down. Above the thunderstorms, past the telescope I used to deceive myself. I float away from these burdens and am let free out into the endless landscape.

lyrics

Trapped in the aviary
then effortlessly I'm carried
drifting
floating up
freed by some fragile force

Clouds cover my skin like clothes
and the cool mist wraps me in it's hold
and all i can see now is grey

High above the vultures now
and portraits that cornered me
and shouted awful advice that i'd take

Jealousy tricked me
to turn the telescope toward myself
as if i could be infinite as well

Closer now to the top of the cloud i scrape
as i approach the endless landscape
and feel the clouds cloth unravel from me

Naked but i don't feel unnatural
as i turn toward the actual size of Earth
as it dwindles away

Darker now from grey to black
but i don't feel cold as i float far past the Earth
i feel a warm welcome
