  • When I came down the dawn poured into me
    I shook em up, the walls came crumbling
    My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
    My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb

    Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
    I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
    But I ascend and serve my feverish need
    Within the confines of such chemistry

    It's the way I see
    Everything I need
    It's no way to be

    Let this be our little secret
    No one needs to know were feeling
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher

    But I feel alive and I feel it in me
    Up and up I keep on climbing
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher

    My face blew up at such a casual sight
    The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
    The rush above me to oblivion
    Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen

    Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong
    How come it takes some people so damn long
    He tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
    The citrus drawing out the scene in stains

    Watch the basin drain
    As your life lines wane
    And you cant explain
    As your friends complain

    You've caused all this pain
    And you proudly shame
    Your whole families name

    Let this be our little secret
    No one needs to know were feeling
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher

    But I feel alive and I feel it in me
    Up and up I keep on climbing
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher

    Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
    Staring at the stars on your ceiling
    Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
    And now I've hit the mark
    Stabbing at the dark
    And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

    Let this be our little secret
    No-one needs to know we're feeling
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher

    But I feel alive and feel it in me
    Up and up I keep on climbing
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher
    Higher and higher and higher

    Let this be our little secret
    No one needs to know were feeling
    Higher and higher and higher

    But I feel alive and I feel it in me
    Up and up and keep on climbing

  • Caitlyn from Royersford, Pai cant even listen to this song in public because i cant listen to it and not feel the urge to break out in full song and dance
  • Indigo from Adelaide, Australiathis song is really good, i'd never heard of Passon Pit until i heard this song, and now listen to all their music.
