Lyrics

The pillow’s cool, the light is fading thin
I let the weight of August shed its skin
No more "How are you?" or the bills to pay
I’m drifting past the borders of the day
The ache in my knees, the grey in my hair
Dissolve like woodsmoke in the midnight air.

And I’m free... God, I’m finally free
In a world that wasn't built by gravity
I’m driving buses tall as the city towers
Through neon rain and fields of glass flowers
I can fly without wings, I can love without cost

Finding every version of myself I thought I lost
It’s a weird and wonderful, kaleidoscopic high
Where the ground is the ocean and the sea is the sky.

I’m talking to a ghost I used to know
We’re walking through a desert made of snow
No family grudges, no "where have you been?"
Just the peace of the static and the light coming in
I’m a king, I’m a child, I’m a bird on the breeze
I am finally living at total ease.

But the clock is a hunter, it’s stalking the sun
The colours are bleeding, the magic is done
I can feel the blanket, I can feel the floor
The sky-high bus doesn't stop here anymore.

But I was free, I was finally free
In a world that wasn't built by gravity
I was driving buses tall as the city towers
Through neon rain and fields of glass flowers.

Open my eyes to the same old room
The coffee pot, the dust, and the afternoon gloom
Back to the struggle, the groundhog day
Waiting for the sun to just fade away.

Until I’m free again, Until I’m free. Until I'm free Again
