On the Wings

it's on the wings of a dead bird I fly

out from the darkness and into the light

following the expansion of the sky

tired I finally gave up the fight

now if I can let go of all of this pain
out from the darkness and into the light

 

slowly I felt I was going insane

I heard the voices screaming in my head
now if I can let go of all of this pain

I couldn't understand all that they said

it's time now, go ahead and take your life

I heard the voices screaming in my head

my hands were still holding the bloody knife

as my eyes started to water and tear
it's time now, go ahead and take your life

a guaranteed way of ending the fear

it's on the wings of a dead bird I fly
as my eyes started to water and tear
following the expansion of the sky
