Above

Finger Eleven - Above

Inside, I'm gone.
You knew that all-all along.
Without the distance, you never get away-yay-hey yay-hey.

Plastic bag image.
It's over now, it's over now.
The color fading, is all the way to grey-yay-hey yay-hey.

We-ee-ee are strong, but we're dumb.
We look above, we look above.

We-ee-ee are strong, but we're dumb.
We look above, we look abo-ove.

Trusting the instinct.
It's not about what you think.
The one reaction is only to obey-yay-hey yay-hey.

And I'm-I'm staring,
All around, not far down.
Judge the distance from the ground and pray-yay-hey yay-hey.

We-ee-ee are strong, but we're dumb.
We look above, we look above.

We-hee-ee-ee are strong, but we're dumb.
We look above, we look abo-ha-ya-ove.

We-ee-ee are strong, but we're dumb.
We look above, we look above.

WE-EE-EE ARE STRONG, BUT WE'RE DUMB.
WE LOOK ABOVE, WE LOOK ABOVE.

WE-EE-EE ARE STRONG, BUT WE'RE DUMB.
WE LOOK ABOVE, WE LOOK ABOVE.

WE-HEE-EE-EE ARE STROOONG, BUT WE'RE DUMB.
WE LOOK ABOVE, WE LOOK ABO-OVE.

WE LOOK ABOVE.

Hey-yay-hey yay-hey.

WE LOOK ABOVE, WE LOOK ABOVE.
Yay-hey yay-hey-yay.


I've been away. Don't think anyone's noticed. I didn't really notice, either. I've been kind of killing myself in increments over the last several months, with no end in sight. School fell through, various attempts at dating fell through, interpersonal responsibilities fell through. It sort of seems life (at least for me) is designed to continually fall through. I've got no energy to see anything through anymore. They don't have outlets for me to plug into so I can recharge. Can't decide if I should continue to get up, and keep on, or not. This might sound self-pitying, but it's not. I don't feel sorrowful, just disappointed. Nothing has any lasting substance. It's all intangible. All I can do is work, come home, work, come home, etc. When I'm home, I just sit at my computer and stare at the monitor, waiting for something.

Anyway, the above song has basically been rattling around my head for the last little while.
