Earthbound

I want to float through the atmosphere
And easily rise above
I’m tired of waiting to get set free
Earthbound in the mud.

When will I know all there is to know?
Is there ever time to learn?
How will I get where I need to go?
Earthbound in the mud.

Earthbound – I warned you –
Icarus tried to fly too.

Some man on TV assures me that it’s easy
But I have never tried so hard
I never set my hopes so high
To watch them crumble time on time
While I’m earthbound in the mud.
