Lyrics
I want to feel like I?m crossing over
I want to feel like I?m falling down
I want to feel like I?m stone cold sober
I want to feel like I?ve left the ground
When you fly do you tuck yourself away
When you lie and tell yourself that it?s OK?
Do you cry now the hurt is here to stay?
Will you hide and try to see another day?
When you bow your head beneath
gods that frown and nash their teeth
When the lies have had their way
What?s there left to say?
I take my time walk through open spaces
in my mind long since gone astray
I must rewind must reopen cases
need to find something more to say
When you fly...
All the voices scream tired of in between
can you make a stand grab it by the hand
Glancing all around for a thing profound
Can you take a breath scares you half to death
When you fly...
