Glorious Heights

Paltry, my ambitions have become so small
 I stay in my bed, my body shakes with tremulous lows
 And only god knows I'm trying to reach glorious heights
 From a tiny stone that always gets kicked and thrown
 And my mind's unravelling over the gravelly desert highway of my soul
 Something's gotta give
 I'm not even that old, I have a low pain threshold
 Maybe that's why things that shouldn't hurt me hurt me so
 I don't mind
 I don't mind
 Seeing you leave me behind
 I don't mind
 I don't mind
 I will continue to try to be kind
 And the furthest I reach is my body height
 And I have spent glorious nights
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Sultry, I wink an eye and it feels wrong
 Please excuse me I'm not physical
 My eyelashes are just awkwardly long
 I have the need to rescue myself
 Because I'm much too afraid to ask somebody else
 On the 14th of August I will turn into dust
 There goes all of the people that I thought I could trust
 Is that really the way it is?
 Is love so desperately weak?
 I am climbing the charts but my heart is bleak
 I don't mind
 I don't mind
 Seeing you leave me behind
 I don't mind
 I don't mind
 I will continue to try to be kind
 And the furthest I reach is my body height
 And I have spent glorious nights
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 I don't mind
 I don't mind
 Seeing you leave me behind
 I'm trying to climb to glorious heights
 To the precipice of my mind
 For now I'm lying alone in the dark
 Trying to mount my hind legs
 For now I'm lying about my heart
 So that you think I'm fine
 And the furthest I reach is my body height
 And I have spent glorious nights
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
 Waiting to be alright
