Parsonsfield - Punching the Air lyrics

I found myself on a rail line bound for hell Riding that train, it ain't free, it ain't easy The pa**engers keep talking to me They say I'm walking on a wire Between white smoke and fire It beats the life out of me All this livin' on sympathy The wars we fight are only in our mind Determined to lose my self­doubt Determined to see free and clear With eyes closed tight, I swing with all my might And all that I'm punchin' is air Mosquito, mosquito, you're buzzing so loud But only I can hear You say my words they mean nothing You say my wrists they are too thin You tell me that one over and over again Though there's darkness all around me That fly I see as clear as day With broken shackles at my feet Like a bird I fly free Leave behind this ball and chain With eyes open wide, I'm staring at the sky And all that's between is air
