What a Frightful Flight

If I'm able to reach to the 
drifting sky,
I'd die literally... I'd lack 
oxygen and my heart would 
thump like a drum 
If I reach too high in the 
drifting, dusky sky,
I'd fall - I can't see the flowers 
of plenty below my spoiled, 
crusty feet
My worn-out feet

What a frightful flight,
I Know, Right? 

Forever...
My dream drags on 
And I'm floating like a 
feather...rummaging in the 
cotton candy clouds 
Dismay douses me as my sweet 
tooth becomes 
satisfied...before the break of 
dawn
And I'm drifting away with the 
sea-blue sky waves and 
disconsolate clouds

What a frightful flight,
I Know, Right?
