Middle-Out - Ballerinas Lyrics

Social circle but there's no one around
It's always sunny when your head is above the clouds
Hearing echos when talking aloud
Pulse is pounding with the knocks at my door
They continue till the door's worn and fists are sore
Like their other concerns, they're ignored
That's what friends are for
Till they don't come around anymore
Roaming like the last ghost in a ghost town
Did I stay here or did I get left behind?
And I'm adding fuel to the flames
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
And it's blowing up in my face
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
And I'm counting all of the days
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
Till it melts away, but it stays
Rigid, motionless and carved out of stone
People gathered around but I'm all alone
And the reason I'm there is unknown
Putting up a front is holding me back
Standing still like a penny left on the tracks
Thinning out till I slip through the cracks
There's no turning back
And the end of the tunnel is black
Broken eggshells surrounding the roadblock
Stubborn, I am set in everybody's way
And I'm adding fuel to the flames
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
And it's blowing up in my face
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
And I'm counting all of the days
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
Till it melts away, but it stays
And I'm watching, laughing
With my feet up, relaxing
And their tiptoes smashing
Ballerinas dancing
And I'm adding fuel to the flames
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
And it's blowing up in my face
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
And I'm counting all of the days
(And it goes and it goes and it goes)
Till it melts away, but it stays
