The light keeps us just far enough for our mind to create a false reality
As our eyes drift shut, I'm thinking back to all the lives I'll never touch or get to hold
Cause I've been held down by my little black cloud and I'm still standing tall and proud,
Stand by my side, honey, and we'll own the world
Erase the walls around us Just get lost inside your new reality
While your panic-stricken mother screams a lullaby of broken dreams
Can it put your tired mind at ease?
Oh no
Cause I've been held down by my little black cloud and I'm still standing tall and proud,
Stand by my side, honey, and we'll own the world
Still standing, still proud
Stand by my side, we'll own the world
So here we are, alone again
We'll take comfort in the friendliness we stole
I sit, complacent, like a warhead, ready to blow
Trying to savor what I don't already know
Cause I've been held down with my head in the ground
Held down by my little black cloud and I've been trying, again and again
Still standing tall, in face of the odds, but I'm on my own
Still standing, still proud
Stand by my side, we'll own the world
