Written & recorded by Wm. Gorman

lyrics

It's like overlooking a steep ravine
The urge so strong, but I manage to stay on my feet
Every time free will takes a turn for the worse
Every time they try to speed up the slow burn
Breathe in and breathe out under a balloon high above ground
Floating around, going up, coming down

When I met Mephistopheles he seemed all right
Bloodshot eyes, he sat down next to me leaning in tight
He said "listen to me
'Every time free will takes a turn for the worse,
'Every time they try to speed up the slow burn
'They call out my name, looking for someone to blame
'When I'm floating around, going up, coming down

'When you become the one you most despise
'You pass by every mirror without looking into your own eyes
'Listen to me," he said "listen to me"

We're throwing rocks at the cars as we walk down Blackstone Blvd
On our way to the bars that you've probably never even heard of
There's a deep sense of unease in this place
Under the trees, under water, on the ground, and in outer space
Who would you believe?
