King of the Clouds

Heaven knows that I'm born too late

For these ghosts that I chase

With these dreams, I inflate

Painted skies in my brain

Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space

To escape this old world, this old world

Some days I lie wide awake 'til the sun hits my face

And I fade, elevate from the Earth

Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight

This old world, this old world

I don't trust anything

Or anyone, below the sun

And I don't feel anything

At all

I'm king of the clouds, of the clouds

I get lifted, I get lifted

King of the clouds, of the clouds

I get lifted, I get lifted

Some only live to die

I'm alive to fly higher

Than angels in outfields inside of my mind

I'm ascending these ladders

I'm climbing, say goodbye

This old world

This old world

And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes

In the backbone of night, I'm combustible

Dust in the fire when I can't sleep, awake, I'm too tired

This old world

This old world

I don't trust anything

Or anyone, below the sun

I don't feel anything

At all

I'm king of the clouds, of the clouds

I get lifted, I get lifted

King of the clouds, of the clouds

I get lifted, I get lifted

Imagination, take me somewhere I don't know

I'm lost but I better find it alone

King of the clouds, of the clouds

I get lifted, I get lifted

I keep searching

Oh, I keep searching

I keep searching
