faint - fulcrum and lever lyrics

the faint
fasciinatiion
fulcrum and lever
i heard a bone snap
when i was only about 9
the laws of gravitation
were in advance a while
but not long before they taught me a lesson
in tough skin jeans like a j-panese hessian

i was 70 pounds
learning to fly
i knew i couldn’t do if i didn’t try

we called it “the field”
where we used to hang out
a field of alfalfa in the back of a house

with a slice of an old oak tree
and a twelve-foot plank
put the board on top
we got a flying machine!

oh my god! we can teeter on this!
or make a lever that can shoot me
into orbit and sp-ce!
i’ve seen the circus
i know how they do it

with bent knees
you got to jump
like you would from a trampoline

strange phenomenon
strange phenomenon

we got up a ladder
and the heaviest kid (5)
he would climb up top (4)
and count down like a (3) rocket ship
to (2) fly me up
he’d get to (1) t-minus zero
(0) before he jumped

and i was shot high in a vertical catapult
straight up and down
i remember the view
from over top of the house

gravity seems weak
until you look down

i got in position
i hadn’t echoed the form
if the judges were present
they’d be holding up score cards
of 9’s and 10’s
i must’ve lost a couple points
for the landing i did

i heard a loud snap
but it didn’t hurt
i looked the neighborhood
it looked like earth
but everybody’s acting weird
are they on meds?
eating peanut b-tter sandwich
in a hospital bed

i started noticing
strange phenomenon
(i started noticing)
strange phenomenon
is this planet the same one that i’ve been on
everybody’s bizarre and irrational
even nurses on the quiet seem a bit off

strange phenomenon
everybody’s deranged and i wonder what
happened the day that i fell from the sky
if n-body changed then it must’ve been mine
