When I came down the dawn poured into me

I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbling

My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds

My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb Now painting rainbows on my ugly face

I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace

but I ascend and serve my feverish need

Within the confines of such chemistry It's the way I see

Everything I need

It's the way to be Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher But I feel alive, I feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher My face blew up at such a casual sight

This miracle is of ecstatic fright

They'll rush above me to oblivion

Outlining white sidewalks with halogen Oh, have you ever felt so goddamn strong

How come it takes some people so damn long

He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain

The citrus drawing out the seasons stains Watch the basin drain

As your life lines wane

And you can't explain

As your friends complain You've caused all this pain

And you proudly shame

Your whole family's name Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher But I feel alive and I feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher Mother, I can tell what you've been thinking

Staring at the stars on your ceiling

Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding

And now I've hit the mark, staring at the dark

And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher But I feel alive, I feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher But I feel alive, I feel it in me

Up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Higher and higher and higher
