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
