No Plagiarism!HyqktsPyhfOCZQKXIq46posted on PＥNAＮＡ 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy6U0rB7bN

[Verse 1]

My foundation is firm, solid and always was (Always was)

'Though I'm an impressionable tower with my head (With my head)

Buried in the clouds (In the clouds)

Then a voice said, "Do you really think you'll find love?"

"Up there," and I came down 

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsXQPXBwjK

[Verse 2]

Some adolescent squirms, panic, tangible now (Tangible now)

Will I spend my twenties with a glower, ingrained frown (Ingrained frown)

Or crash the fuck out? (The fuck out)

Then a voice said, "Do you really think you can't love"

"Right here?" And I stood up

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cOgEWPIma

[Pre-chorus]

Perhaps I won't collapse, just keep reaching (Reaching)

'Cause at some point I'll grasp hold of a feeling (Feeling)

My chances slim alas, just keep reaching (Reaching)

'Cause at some point I'll grasp hold of the healing (Healing)

[Chorus]

But presently I'm a skyscraper, a high staker 

Vindictive, persistent, I'll spite myself later 

I'm a skyscraper, a why stater 

Vindictive, consistent, always a half-faker 

I'm a skyscraper 

I'm a skyscraper 

I'm a skyscraper 

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf17X7b30ET

[Verse 3]

Past sensations return, drastic and make me doubt (Make me doubt)

Should I take the only elevator? Six six six (Six six six) 

Floors straight down to hell (Down to hell) 

Then a voice said, "Do you really think you'll find love"

"Somewhere that you don't want?"

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaCKr9HdZK

[Pre-chorus]

Perhaps I will collapse, just keep reaching (Reaching)

'Cause at some point I'll grasp hold of a feeling (Feeling)

My chances slim alas, just keep reaching (Reaching)

'Cause at some point I'll grasp hold of an inkling (Inkling)

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXBkvzWLOT

[Chorus]

But presently I'm a skyscraper, a high staker 

Vindictive, persistent, I'll spite myself later 

I'm a skyscraper, a why stater 

Vindictive, consistent, always a self-hater

I'm a skyscraper 

I'm a skyscraper 

I'm a skyscraper

[Bridge]

Halfway to heaven, practically equivalent

To Babel (Babel)

Halfway to heaven, practically equivalent 

To Babel (Babel)

Am I able (Able)

To love? (To love)

Halfway to heaven, practically equivalent

To the ground (The ground)

Halfway to heaven, practically equivalent 

To the ground (The ground)

Am I allowed (Allowed)

To love? (To love)

[Pre-chorus]

My chances slim alas, just keep reaching (Reaching)

'Cause at some point I'll grasp hold of a meeting (Meeting)

[Chorus]

But presently I'm a skyscraper, a high staker 

Vindictive, persistent, I'll spite myself later 

I'm a skyscraper, a why stater 

Vindictive, consistent, always a shit dater 

I'm a skyscraper 

I'm a skyscraper 

I'm a skyscraper 116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYzP2Gn9pj
