Fear This Falling

from I's TWINKLE by NATE WEIDA

/

lyrics

In the dream it's a spotted floor,
empty cutouts, round empty holes.
Now my feet feel the pulling
so I can't stop anymore.

I fear this falling,
But I want it too.
Yes, I fear this falling.
But I want it too.

I snuck onto the crowded train
Watched the Blue Ridge disappear
Ashamed of where I'm from
I became a Yankee Volunteer

And I fear this falling,
But I want it too.
Yes I fear this falling
But I want it too.

I know they'll find me out
After one too many beers
They'll say you're just a wanna be
Johnny Come Lately Pioneer.

Onto this island
Not where I'm from
Fled to an island
Where I've become
An ever changing sphere
I saw New York
And volunteered
To be invisible as
a new man here.
