about

A happy sad song illuminating the existentialism of every day life with vivid candy colors and cupcakes.

lyrics

BLACK BALLOONS

Last night you had a dream where everything was really strange
But then no one ever had a dream that’s normal
Like a carnival or circus
Dogs and children everywhere
Like a birthday party or summer formal

But in the crowd a painted clown
In silence waits just by the door
Whose lonely eyes are red from crying
And he gives to you a bouquet
That lifts you off the floor

He brings you black balloons, black balloons
Black balloons, black balloons

As you watch the world beneath your feet you wonder if it’s real
All the people start to shrink and grow much smaller
Like a doll house or a train set
Pretty colors in the sun
Like a cupcake ferris wheel or silver dollar

But down below the people go
Around the lawn like ants about their day
And I’m there too to sing to you
A song about a life where no one sees you float away

In all these black balloons, black balloons
Black balloons, black balloons

But in the clouds a distant sound
Of someone weeping beyond your view
And then it’s clear through salty tears
A million other strangers drifting just like you

Under their black balloons, black balloons
Black balloons, black balloons
Black balloons, black balloons
