Текст песни SKYSCRAPERS - Ciel

Stronger on the outside
I look, I look
Stronger
I look stronger on the outside

I look stronger from the outside in
Higher world view, I been looking through a lens
Tryna be a man, that another can depend on
Well that just depends on, if I can extend my paper
It's a long road, never know where it'll take us
Heaven, I suppose, holy energy gon' raise us
Bit by bit, the pressure can't erase us
Brick by brick, build the tallest skyscrapers

I been thinking jumping off
What if I tried jumping off?
Yea, yea
Reaching for the stars, got me scraping at the sky
Isn't it ironic?
Built a skyscraper, yet I'm never standing on it
I can see my higher self, floating through the cosmic
Battle between, my self esteem and my exalted
Mindset
Have you ever thought of being modest, try it
Having conversations, inner conflict is trifling
Never will I change, because a promise is priceless
Tryna think straight is like bottled, lightning
Lightning in a bottle
I capture fleeting thoughts
Visions seeing stardom
A fate I never saw
Happiness is seldom
Invading thoughts are welcome
At this point I need anything
I'm barely holding on
I always run away from it, no I can't stay any longer
Can't escape from it, will it chase me any farther?
Tried to pray on it, but it preying on me
I can't keep it together, cuz it keeps weighing on me
Wish I saw myself from another persons eyes
Wouldn't realize this persona is a guise
Hidden from reality, untouchable by time
Due to my pride, I say I'm fine, but I lied

I look stronger from the outside in
Higher world view, I been looking through a lens
Tryna be a man, that another can depend on
Well that just depends on, if I can extend my paper
It's a long road, never know where it'll take us
Heaven, I suppose, holy energy gon' raise us
Bit by bit, the pressure can't erase us
Brick by brick, build the tallest skyscrapers

Maybe if I jump, I could soar, for eternity
Failure is possible, that outcome is deterring me
Maybe I can make it, but success won't cure the hurt in me
All I see is hell, far beneath, and it's burning me
Up in flames we go
Always in a rush, let's take it slow
Waiting any longer, and my pain will show
You would never know, cuz I got a face of stone
It's a hoax

I look stronger from the outside in
Higher world view, I been looking through a lens
Tryna be a man, that another can depend on
Well that just depends on, if I can extend my paper
It's a long road, never know where it'll take us
Heaven, I suppose, holy energy gon' raise us
Bit by bit, the pressure can't erase us
Brick by brick, build the tallest skyscrapers
