Unrequited Love for No One in Particular

Dead Sea

All the pain, all the sorrow
All of it gone in just an instant
I've been granted time to borrow
Time to take that pain and fix it

Wrapped in blankets laid in bed
Like a peaceful night on the Dead Sea
I let the optimism reach my head
Let these upbeat thoughts get to me

I know it's dangerous to get so high
To leave the ground and all
Because the higher I go into sky
There's farther now to fall

Here's to hoping I'm here for a while
I'll probably leave before long
Being this high really isn't my style
I'm singing an unfamiliar song

I'm not sure if I like it here more
Than I did from lower down
It's changed the feel of my inner core
My voice has a new sound

What if the ground really is higher
We're just looking upside down
To fall to rise and then inspire
I jump headfirst back to the ground

Yes this is odd, with a very odd sight
I don't know whether I'm dead
But things look better, I think I'm right
I'm standing on my head

Pain and sorrow are natural
We can't hold them off for long
It's best to have no place to fall
And to enjoy that old, dark song
