don t look down

Banks

Sometimes I overthink
Compulsively get in my head
Wait for the chill to sink in, to feel my own skin
Whiplash in polaroids
Left to the flip of a coin
Dissonance turnin the voids into white noise

So what if I say out loud
What I m afraid of?
From my heart to my mouth
Climbin my way up
I m alone, terrified
When I get too high

But if I don t look down
I won t be too dizzy to stay
And I won t go slippin away
I ll keep my head in the clouds
If I don t look down
Maybe I ll land on my feet
Find comfort in quiet, and peace
I ll be in the here, I ll be in the now
If I don t look down

I m on a carousel
Spinnin so fast, I need help
In all of the muted pastels, losin myself

So what if I say out loud
What I m afraid of?
From my heart to my mouth
Climbin my way up
I m alone, terrified
When I get too high

But if I don t look down
I won t be too dizzy to stay
And I won t go slippin away
I ll keep my head in the clouds
If I don t look down
Maybe I ll land on my feet
Find comfort in quiet, and peace
I ll be in the here, I ll be in the now
If I don t look down

If I don t look down

But if I don t look down
I won t be too dizzy to stay
And I won t go slippin away
I ll keep my head in the clouds
If I don t look down
Maybe I ll land on my feet
Find comfort in quiet, and peace
I ll be in the here, I ll be in the now
If I don t look down
