“When Flight Is Denied” by Chicosci
Album | Icarus [2004] |
Searching for reasons
We're guided, we follow
A desperate longing for light
"Let me go, they say"
She stays still, she sheds a tear
In her dreams the world is better without her
An open wrist calls even stronger
No amount of healing will ever make it better
Yes, there is an underside
But it's beautiful as well
Just don't kiss it goodbye
Just open your eyes
You'll see that we have wings
Greater than anything you can imagine
Don't kiss it goodbye
He lights a match
He's hoping, he's wishing
He'll burn out sooner than it will
Days go by
Same hours, the same life
The same nothing he's had for years
We're guided, we follow
A desperate longing for light
"Let me go, they say"
She stays still, she sheds a tear
In her dreams the world is better without her
An open wrist calls even stronger
No amount of healing will ever make it better
Yes, there is an underside
But it's beautiful as well
Just don't kiss it goodbye
Just open your eyes
You'll see that we have wings
Greater than anything you can imagine
Don't kiss it goodbye
He lights a match
He's hoping, he's wishing
He'll burn out sooner than it will
Days go by
Same hours, the same life
The same nothing he's had for years
