A quirkier, lighter side in this single.

lyrics

The Balloon Popper Abandoned Cardboards

Needle staring, pierce my balloon
Feeble following, spin my saloon
Gleeful massacre of my commune

String together
Burn the last feather
Stand still forever

Awful pairing, obese bulimia
Woeful sinking, last of Asia
Sorrowful wailing reach Russia

Pretend extending
Scales done decaying
Hideouts combusting

Abandoned all cardboards
Never mind the hearts we poured
Running faster than we can
To toss their dreams out from this van
Metal toys with screws lost
I threw them down
To shatter against the crystal wall

One eye blurs its socket
Prevent focusing
So I left out my docket
About appearing
And don't forget to mock it
Enforce duct taping
The door, don't ever knock it
May start collapsing

Ah…

You remind me of my younger self
With head so big like a waning elf
Take my hand marred with holes
All were shot by my foes, my roles

Where'd you find the last of my balloon
Shame, so much spent by this baboon
Dump the bucket of paint so maroon

String together
Meaningless chatter
Men would not fare better

Wreck the tower of academia
Sucked the life out, my dementia
Burn the score of schizophrenia

Pretend shredding
Downhill ice skating
Did we miss the railing

Abandoned all cardboards
Never mind the hearts we poured
Running faster than we can
To purge their dreams out from this van
Metal toys with screws lost
I threw them down
To shatter against the crystal

Walls free of cardboards
We will mourn the hearts we poured
Abandoned all who made us run
To wear our hearts out in the sun
Are we free with screws lost
Forgive yourself
Leave those cracks on your crystal wall
