Glorious Heights - Montaigne

Paltry, my ambitions have become so small

I stay in my bed, my body shakes with tremulous lows

And only god knows I’m trying to reach glorious heights

From a tiny stone that always gets kicked and thrown

And my mind’s unravelling over the gravelly desert highway of my soul

Something’s gotta give

I’m not even that old, I have a low pain threshold

Maybe that’s why things that shouldn’t hurt me hurt me so

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

Seeing you leave me behind

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

I will continue to try to be kind

And the furthest I reach is my body height

And I have spent glorious nights

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Sultry, I wink an eye and it feels wrong

Please excuse me I’m not physical

My eyelashes are just awkwardly long

I have the need to rescue myself

Because I’m much too afraid to ask somebody else

On the 14th of August I will turn into dust

There goes all of the people that I thought I could trust

Is that really the way it is?

Is love so desperately weak?

I am climbing the charts but my heart is bleak

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

Seeing you leave me behind

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

I will continue to try to be kind

And the furthest I reach is my body height

And I have spent glorious nights

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

I don’t mind

I don’t mind

Seeing you leave me behind

I’m trying to climb to glorious heights

To the precipice of my mind

For now I’m lying alone in the dark

Trying to mount my hind legs

For now I’m lying about my heart

So that you think I’m fine

And the furthest I reach is my body height

And I have spent glorious nights

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright

Waiting to be alright
