These wilted flowers on top of the stage
Stand like a token of shame
All conquered towers and mountains of faith
Seem so much smaller today
I'm afraid

It's harder to breathe way up here
Up this high
I can't bear the weight of my gray cloud
It's harder to see you down there
Through my gray cloud
My gray cloud

Ten thousand hours in over my head
Another triumph away
Thought we would make it, but I was misled
See you my friend by the gates
I can't stay

It's harder to breathe way up here
Up this high
I can't bear the weight of my gray cloud
It's harder to see you down there

Through my gray cloud
I just want to let some Sun shine in
Through my gray cloud
I still long for something new

It's harder to breathe way up here
Up this high
I can't bear the weight of my gray cloud
It's harder to see you down there
Through my gray cloud
