Vertigo

The Proxy

I bought the view
To watch the ants below
The air is thin
In the VIP scenario
Glass walls
Between me and the crime
I paid for space
But I only bought the time
Perfect silence
On the ninety-ninth floor
I have it all
So why do I want more
The city lights
Imply that something's real
But up here
I forgot how to feel

One step
Two steps
Edge of the ledge
Push me over
Over the edge

Round, round, upside down
Ver-ti-go
Lost, found, hit the ground
Ver-ti-go
I don't want to fly
I just want to fall
Check if my body
Breaks after all
Round, round, upside down
Ver-ti-go

Gravity
Never let's me pretend
Calling my name
Begging me to descend
A beautiful error
In the architecture plan
To build a heaven
For a lonely hologram
My reflection
Is looking back at me
Daring the glass
To suddenly disagree
I don't want to leave
I just want to feel
If anything out there
Is actually real

One step
Two steps
Edge of the ledge
Push me over
Over the edge

Round, round, upside down
Ver-ti-go
Lost, found, hit the ground
Ver-ti-go
I don't want to fly
I just want to fall
Check if my body
Breaks after all
Round, round, upside down
Ver-ti-go

The balance is shifting
The horizon is tilting
It's not fear
It's a rush
In the quiet
In the hush
Maybe I'll wake up
Before I touch

Round, round, upside down
Ver-ti-go
Lost, found, hit the ground
Ver-ti-go

Ver-ti-go
One step
Ver-ti-go
Two steps
Over the edge
