Whiteout Conditions

Lyrics

Flying and feeling the ceiling
 And barely dealing
 And the faintest, the faintest of praises
 Are too revealing
 Such a waste of a beautiful day
 Someone should say it
 Such a waste of the only impossible, logical way in
 A fly-in at LA was open
 I wasn't hoping for a win
 I was hoping for freedom
 You couldn't beat 'em
 So you crumbled, you doubled your dosage
 You wanna go, said the inhibitor blocking the passage
 That thing is massive
 And the sky will come for you once
 Just sit tight until it's done
 The sky will come for you once
 Just sit tight until it's done
 Got so hooked on a feeling
 I started dealing
 In a stage of grief so demanding
 I got a stand-in
 Every radio buzzing, it wasn't the dream of the moment
 Wasn't the current that carried me, keeping me going
 Only want to get to work
 But every morning I'm too sick to drive
 Suffering whiteout conditions
 Forget the mission, just get out alive
 Only want to glean the purpose
 Only to scratch the surface, raise the plow
 Suffering whiteout conditions
 Forget your mission, just get out somehow
 ♪
 Everyone suddenly busy
 Suddenly dizzy
 You're so easy, it's pushing you over
 They're taking tours
 Of a treacherous trip of the badlands
 You have your demands
 Maybe you're right, but nothing is just a bad hand
 Only want to get to work
 But every morning I'm too sick to drive
 Suffering whiteout conditions
 Forget the mission, just get out alive
 Only want to glean the purpose
 Only to scratch the surface, raise the plow
 Suffering whiteout conditions
 Forget your mission, just get out somehow
 ♪
 Finally flying the ceiling
 I see myself
 And the revival, it suddenly hits me
 It's going viral
 Such a waste of a beautiful day
 Someone should say it
 Such a waste of the only impossible, logical way in
 Got so hooked on a feeling
 I started dealing
 But the days spent kicking the cages
 Are too revealing
 So committed to your misfortune
 But still a cheater
 Such a waste of a beautiful day
 Wish you could be here
