Lead Balloon Lyrics by Pictish Trail

Thumb World

2020

[Verse 1]
Diamond rough, gonna cut you up badly
I take for granted all the things you ask of me
Evidently, I can't accommodate all your demands
How that plagues you, then escapes you all over again
I've had enough time to figure out what this means
But stare at nothing in the distance to avoid the machine
Baked brains congeal, and slowly peel from the bottom of the pan
How I scrape them and replace them all over again
And over again
[Chorus]
I can see you coming out of your sadness
I can see you coming out of your madness
Don't wanna make you sad
[Verse 2]
This party's clown is going down like a big lead balloon
Inexplicably inflating, slowly sinking the room
Is this all real? How do you feel?
Can't remember if I've filled up accidentally with diesel
I've had enough time to figure out what this means
But stop at nothing to avoid the glare of the red machine
Chemical sends shivers, eyes the size of mirrors
That don't reflect the pained expression that stares back again
Oh, not again
[Chorus]
I can see you coming out of your sadness
I can see you coming out of your madness
Don't wanna make you mad now
[Outro]
Oh, not again
I can see you coming out of your sadness
I can see you coming out of your madness (Oh, not again)
I can see you coming out of your sadness
I can see you coming out of your madness
Don't wanna make you mad now
