[ti:Fulcrum and Lever] [ar:The Faint] [al:Fasciinatiion] [00:02.00]The Faint - Fulcrum and Lever [00:06.00]LRC by ,from jiangxi pingxiang [00:13.00] [00:14.56]I heard a bone snap [00:16.74]When I was only about 9 [00:18.10]The laws of gravitation [00:19.88]Were in advance a while [00:21.68]But not long before they taught me a lesson [00:24.01]In tough skin jeans like a Japanese Hessian [00:27.29]I was 70 pounds [00:28.88]Learning to fly [00:30.65]I knew I couldn't do if I didn't try [00:33.64]We called it "the field" [00:35.51]Where we used to hang out [00:36.99]A field of alfalfa in the back of a house [00:40.06]With a slice of an old oak tree [00:42.41]And a twelve-foot plank [00:44.00]Put the board on top [00:45.59]We got a flying machine! [00:47.29]Oh my god! We can teeter on this! [00:50.27]Or make a lever that can shoot me [00:51.77]Into orbit and space! [00:53.25]I've seen the circus [00:54.84]I know how they do it [00:56.18]With bent knees [00:57.44]You got to jump [00:58.68]Like you would from a trampoline [01:00.12] [01:12.98]We got up a ladder [01:15.24]And the heaviest kid (5) [01:16.69]He would climb up top (4) [01:18.38]And count down like a (3) rocket ship [01:20.78]To (2) fly me up [01:21.06]He'd get to (1) T-minus zero [01:23.88](0) Before he jumped [01:25.81]And I was shot high in a vertical catapult [01:27.86]Straight up and down [01:29.70]I remember the view [01:31.34]From over top of the house [01:33.99] [01:35.28]Gravity seems weak [01:37.58]Until you look down [01:39.40] [01:51.10]I got in position [01:53.17]I hadn't echoed the form [01:55.01]If the judges were present [01:56.71]They'd be holding up score cards [01:59.00]Of 9's and 10's [02:00.93]I must've lost a couple points [02:02.49]For the landing I did [02:04.15]I heard a loud snap [02:05.64]But it didn't hurt I looked the neighborhood It looked like earth But everybody's acting weird Are they on meds? Eating peanut butter 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 nobody changed then it must've been mine
