Severed Wings

You said to me
Where do we go when we lose our wings?
It seemed to me
Like all I'd be is the ugly things they'd see

Stitched onto my back through ligaments and bone
They can't see I've lost my feathers, no
Lost all of my feeling, I can't control
But even so, I'll pretend they're still my own

As I rot and rot away
It gets harder to hide the decay
Fading into gray
I don't know how much longer I can stay this way

If I could just open my mouth
And shed these limbs that hold me down
How loathsome I've become
Like some lost soul that can't come 'round

My disguise came with necrotic blight
I'm waiting for a silver line
These feelings were once mine
Where do I go to find them again?

Stitched onto my back through ligaments and bone
They can't see I've lost my feathers, no
Lost all of my feeling, I can't control
But even so, I'll pretend they're still my own
I'll pretend they're still my own
