chaingangguy Okay, I'll come clean. While I love the track on its own, I occasionally give this track a slight bump in playback speed akin to the peppier tempo of a Pinback concert vs their albums. I like the extra character the speed increase brings. There. I said it. And you know what? It felt good. It's good to be honest.

lyrics

I take off from Dubai and fend off my fears to fly
I look down far below I’m thinking of my life that’s gone
There is nothing left to hold me down as I travel through to the openside
Why don’t we just stop and hold ourselves and trust our lives to The Broken Ones

I carry on, it’s been so long
Forgot what I was doing

There is nothing left to hold me down as I travel through to the openside
Why don’t we just stop and hold ourselves and trust our lives to The
Broken Ones

I take off from Dubai and fend off my taste to die
I take off into sky I’m thinking my days are numbered now

I carry on, it’s been so long
Forgot what I was doing

I can breathe now

((Breathe ))

I carry on it's been so long forgot what I was doing
I carry on it's been so long forgot where I was going

I take off from Dubai and fend off my taste to die
I take off into sky I’m thinking my days are numbered now

I can breathe now

(( Breathe ))

I carry on it's been so long forgot what I was doing
I carry on it's been so long forgot where I was going

(( Breathe ))
