Bottle Rocket


 

I've got a bottle of hot air in my heart 

Lately it's been leaking small sobs

 

Curdled anger and unspoken frustration 

Causing damage in my soul-fridge

I've got a bottle of hot air in my heart

 

Soon I know the cap give

And all the bad will cloud my world

Well

I've got a bottle of hot air in my heart 

 

I'll try and bury it in unrequited infatuation soil

The pressure will make it worse 

Still

I've got a bottle of hot air in my heart

 

I'll try to laugh away a decade of pain

To diffuse the bomb with joy

Still

I've got a bottle of hot air in my heart 

 

I've got a bottle of hot air in my heart 

And I will strap it to my back

And I will open the cap

It will take me to my destiny 

 

Now

I've got a box of success in my hand
