Movies: Fear Of Heights

written 05.04.2011 - 12.10.2011, to be released on Movies And Conversations

(There might) come a time when I change my mind
And accept what can't be changed
Sitting it out now
The whole thing perfectly arranged
Can you take my doubts away?
Can you convince me to stay?
The unease is wearing off
But still I feel so strange

Wonder how shall I treat this song
Shall I rest or shall I dance
Singing along now
Ignoring every dissonance
Can you take these notes away?
Do you like this melody?
No I don't but I don't want to
Disappoint the fans

A new chapter, a new start
My worn out world's fallen apart
I don't know where this journey takes me
When I chase my liberty
Reason can't keep pace with me
And it's shouting "Don't be hasty!"

I was there now I'm back again
And the road made my feet hurt
Taking a break now
These old boots are stained with dirt
Can you wash this dust away?
Can you take my hand and say:
"It's not an easy start
But we will make it work"

Up the corridor of stars
Down the sound of passing cars
From up here, I see their lights
Afraid of losing control
One step further and I'll fall
I guess that's my fear, my fear of heights

Looking up is easier
Than looking down into the canyon that you came from
Wheater changes with your thoughts
But still no need to hide the sun and let the rain come
Answer me, and honestly:
Do you want to fall back down?
You just sigh and look away
Giving me a wordless frown

Another change of scenery
A single move and everything's as good as new
It's a strange machinery
You always think about what's in it for you
The breakdown of the reverie
You used to be lost in
It will force you to accept
Full responsibility for everything

I hold onto this rock of trust
And imagine someone claps
My vision is blurred now
I'm out of oxygen perhaps
Can you take my breath away?
Could this be my final day?
Seems so much easier to let go and relapse

It drags me down and it will hurt
The gravity of a single word
I can't climb these mountainsides
There's always an excuse at hand
That's the reason why I can't
Get over my fear of heights
Is it hopeless, I don't know
I'm stuck inside this vertigo
But they say a hero fights
Slam shut all of my back doors
Get the ship back on the course
Maybe conquering my fear, my fear of heights

Is there anything left to say
Before I fade away now?
Is there anything left to say
Before I fade away? No.
