The View from the Balcony

Lyrics for The View from the Balcony

This comes from the heart This comes from the heart This comes from the heart This comes from the heart The author wrote that "living is merely the chaos of existence" To which the character, confused, responded "And so is dying, simply, the rejection of chaos?" But nothing is simple From birth to work to tragedy The man who fell from grace into the sea I thought I'd find it all at the bottom But it's all so dark, merciless, murderous I thought I shoveled to survive but apparеntly I was wrong I survive to shovel against the dunеs It should be easier than this But it's harder than it seems Now it's calling me (Now it's calling me) Further away From the morgue to the street From the street to the balcony Open up the door And set it in reverse Balance on the rail Take in the view from the balcony Each time you look It seems it's less far down In the end, we are always falling down It should be easier than this (Falling) But it's harder than it seems (Falling) Now it's calling me (Now it's calling me) Further away Like a deer in the headlights I wander into the danger blinded No regard for consequences I take a step off the ledge And come to grips with the sadness I've finally realized that hope's Another feeling I'll soon grow tired I'll soon grow tired of It should be easier than this But it's harder than it seems Now it's calling me (Now it's calling me) Further away It should be easier than this But it's harder than it seems Now it's calling me (Now it's calling me) Further away
