Alterior motives break all the windows in this house
House of cards stacked high
High is a feeling or a level
Level-headed I jump again
Again I fall but the distance isn't so great
Great figures of speech and you know them all
All the tricks to turn me to gel
Gel through your hair or through mine
Mine is yours and whisper softly
Softly treading water
Water is blue like your smile
Smiling faces like mine when I look at you
You capture me and my wings flutter
Flutter go the wings as I try to fly away
Away from any type of feeling so I don't get hurt.
