Flightless

Look how I'm falling down
To the ground
And now I'm slipping out
Away from you
See, I was never defined
By things so unseen
This time it will be only me

I'm seeing a whole new side of me
I didn't know existed
The door has been opened wider
Than before

I'm out of here

Someday I'll wake up by the sea
And I won't think of you
No longer held inside your cage
I know just what to do

Old bird trapped inside my mind
Set me free
New world I've yet to even see
One step is all I need
Flying these old wings
I'll be changing it all around

We used to speak of golden rhymes
We lost within our times
But now that seems so far away
It's like it was just a dream

Someday I'll wake up by the sea
And I won't think of you
No longer held inside your cage
I know just what to do
And if I ever find myself
Wanting to return back
I'll think all about you and me
And what we both lacked

And I just want to say
That I'm going away

Look how far I have come
Walking on these lines
Lost wars
The rubble we left behind

These buildings will no longer
Stand on their own
It's our fault to claim
You never had control of me
Not once don't think that way

Someday I'll wake up by the sea
And I won't think of you
No matter how much time has passed
I will be flying too

I'm tired of your games, I'm tired of you
I will not stay here and neither should you
I'm flying away, I'm flying away
I'm not as flightless as you say

Someday you'll wake up by the sea
And you won't think of me
You'll laugh and sing and dance with glee
And someday you will see
Cause though the world spins round and round
You're not the only one
Craving a whole new story
Chapter one has just begun

I'm walking on my own
My story will be told
I have to let you know
That I have let you go
