    I’ve got my scars to bear
    Stitches just can’t repair, woah
    There’s no one to blame this time
    Absolution’s waiting on a prayer
    I’m breaking down the walls
    Bailing my share of faults, woah
    This blood on my hands is a blessing
    In a lifetime, twisted by design

    But I’m so alive!

    Is it a threat or the cure?
    ‘Cause it’s a brave new world
    I don’t know if I’m ready for, just to test
    ‘Cause I’m miles up above you
    Flying with no safety net
    I don’t believe in fate, although this time
    I think I’ve met my match
    Why are the dreams so hard to catch?

    ‘Cause you forget in time
    What it feels inside
    When you live right on the line
    But I’m so alive!

    They say believing is the hardest part
    But I say with every beat of my heart
    I alone will find my way
    And get right back to the start
    They say the fire in your heart is gone
    Well, I say it’s really only just begun
    All along you know that I’m
    I’m twisted by design
    I’m twisted by design

    Taking the days as they come
    But now I’m seeing the world
    As if it had a thousand sounds
    I admit that they’re somewhere along the lines
    I guess I lost my grip
    But luck has turned the page and time is up
    I need to get things right
    One more chance to catch the light

    ‘Cause you forget in time
    What it feels inside
    When you live right on the line
    But I’m so alive!

    They say believing is the hardest part
    But I say with every beat of my heart
    I alone will find my way
    And get right back to the start
    They say the fire in your heart is gone
    Well, I say it’s really only just begun
    All along you know that I’m
    I’m twisted by design
    I’m twisted by design

    Starting over again
    But the further I get
    I can’t stop
    These walls from closing in
    Going out of my head
    All the tears that I bled
    They’re not enough
    To take my pain away

    They say believing is the hardest part
    But I say with every beat of my heart
    I alone will find my way
    And get right back to the start
    They say the fire in your heart is gone
    Well, I say it’s really only just begun
    All along you know that I’m
    I’m twisted by design

    In some ways I’ve changed
    And I’ve left it all behind
    But I can’t change the way
    That I’m twisted by design

FLICKer: Balloons #shortfilm

This is a short film about falling in love with someone who isnโ€™t ready to be seen with you. Itโ€™s about shame, first love, public affection, and losing someone before you ever got to be real with them.
