[Dr Koul - #BLACKBALLOONSCHALLENGE lyrics]
Afraid of heights I used to
Be scared of successful writing
Now I write my fears with a pen
Catching a light that's godly
Rhyming oddly out in the open so
There's no hiding from this
Now I ride so high i'm on helium
Like I’m flying lotus
I don't like to compete with you
But I want my curry and eat it too
Staying in the shadows with arrows
Aiming to see the truth
Pop, there goes the balloon
Blame it on good deeds by evil doers
But underground rivers are
Overflowing with them
Dead bodies and dumped toys floating
Through thrown away food
Flowing under burning bridges
I wonder does my inner turmoil
Reflect a broken system?
I think it does
How else can you explain my pain
Despite all of my privilege
Is my vision to blame? I think it must
I can't avoid the pictures
The catastrophic predictions
Pushed by media
Owned by those who profit from hysteria
Fuelling the creeping up gossip
Like a wisteria
Meanwhile we travel in coffins
Without a steering wheel
Coughing up the sickness they cash
In on and feed off
I see it travelling past
How it unravels so fast
Portals and ladders don't last
Only glass balls filled up with gas
Watch them roll off ledges and crash
Who planted the thought that pushes
The paws of a cat
Who thought it was wack?
Who thought it was gone
And was bringing it back?
Who waters the plants that spring into maps
Who doubted the facts, who lived to the max?
Who floated to unforeseen heights
Who's been fighting the past?
I see the lies but can't make
Head nor tail of evil eyes
Facial recognition and corporate
Greed legalized
Be scared of successful writing
Now I write my fears with a pen
Catching a light that's godly
Rhyming oddly out in the open so
There's no hiding from this
Now I ride so high i'm on helium
Like I’m flying lotus
I don't like to compete with you
But I want my curry and eat it too
Staying in the shadows with arrows
Aiming to see the truth
Pop, there goes the balloon
Blame it on good deeds by evil doers
But underground rivers are
Overflowing with them
Dead bodies and dumped toys floating
Through thrown away food
Flowing under burning bridges
I wonder does my inner turmoil
Reflect a broken system?
I think it does
How else can you explain my pain
Despite all of my privilege
Is my vision to blame? I think it must
I can't avoid the pictures
The catastrophic predictions
Pushed by media
Owned by those who profit from hysteria
Fuelling the creeping up gossip
Like a wisteria
Meanwhile we travel in coffins
Without a steering wheel
Coughing up the sickness they cash
In on and feed off
I see it travelling past
How it unravels so fast
Portals and ladders don't last
Only glass balls filled up with gas
Watch them roll off ledges and crash
Who planted the thought that pushes
The paws of a cat
Who thought it was wack?
Who thought it was gone
And was bringing it back?
Who waters the plants that spring into maps
Who doubted the facts, who lived to the max?
Who floated to unforeseen heights
Who's been fighting the past?
I see the lies but can't make
Head nor tail of evil eyes
Facial recognition and corporate
Greed legalized
