Staring Competition (With the Ceiling) - Elijah Delgado

So what will I do when the size of the world Makes me ponder destinations? And the blood inside keeps beating me, Saying if I leave you now, There is still a chance to forget. After that will anything else make sense? Tell me how you think it is, does it move you? I will listen. Your shining eyes don't look my way, But when the night falls I can see them, I still feel them. My polar devices seem to pull magnetically, Contrived to watch me spin. Leave you now? Still a chance to be strong. After all is done I still feel the sand on my feet And the world in my hands, And the echoes of that night will remain. So why can't I understand? I could weigh your remarks, I could try to balance out all the miles between us now. Branded by your gentle fire, Tasted what I still desire. Branded. If I leave you now, I know I'll never forget. Nothing to regret because the light that you gave me Will always shine inside, no need for me to lie. And the time that remains is not pointless anymore. Release my hand and fly. Punishment no longer makes sense

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down, but I won't let them If I seem bleak Well you'd be correct And if I don't speak It's 'cause I can't disconnect But I won't be Burned up by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun As you're staring at the sun (Hey) When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway (Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away (Hey) There's more to living than only surviving Maybe I'm not there But I'm still trying Though you hear me I don't think that you relate My will is something That you can't confiscate So forgive me But I won't be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh (Hey) When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway (Hey) When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away (Hey) There's more to living than only surviving Maybe I'm not there But I'm still trying Though you hear me I don't think that you relate My will is something That you can't confiscate So forgive me But I won't be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh (Hey) Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway (Hey) Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way (Hey) Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down But I won't let them If I seem bleak Well you'd be correct And if I don't speak It's 'cause I can't disconnect But I won't be Burned up by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun, oh As you're staring at the sun As you're staring at the sun

I was only asking for a moment of the truth I can't fight the feeling when I'm hanging out with you Why do I forgive you Because I get confused I could never leave behind the part of me that you refuse Ooh I was on the ceiling I could almost feel the sun Try the words in sequence but that's never how it's done Why do our disasters creep so slowly into view I was only after a friend to follow through I couldn't lose Ooh I know why you don't really know me I don't think you can call it home All alone I couldn't taste another thing I was on the ceiling and I swore it might be true I could fight the feeling but not quite as well as you Ooh Ooh I don't know, won't you come and show me I don't think it's what you did before All alone I couldn't take a case like you

Find me up Find me down All around By sound Cause what goes up Must come down I should be found By now Don't try to defend How you keep me in suspense I'll try my best But all my friends they don't forget I just don't know how To sing to your planets When oxygen buries my veins Find me up Find me down All around By sound Cause what goes up Must come down I should be found By now
