Heavy Balloon - The Secret Sisters

People like us we play with a heavy balloon

We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon

People like us we play with a heavy balloon

We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I’ve been sucking it in so long

That I’m bursting at the seams

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I’ve been sucking it in so long

That I’m bursting at the seams

In the middle of the day

Like the sun, but that Saharan one, it’s staring me down

Forcing all forms of life inside of me to retreat underground

It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat

It’s just to keep on gnawing at me

It constricts like a ball on a hose

Nothing flows, so the pressure grows instead of the sea

People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes

So lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place that we can find

We get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row

The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know

But you know what

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I’ve been sucking it in so long

That I’m bursting at the seams

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I’ve been sucking it in so long

That I’m bursting at the seams

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans

And I’m bursting at the seams

I spread like strawberries

I climb like peas and beans
