Clawing at my insides saying this time it'll work out
But the odds were all against me
Odds that say I'm languishing in vain
I know I'm passed over for all the better feathers
Colorful and iridescent
Not glossy black and tattered
Over you
Tugging at the wires
I see you
Blinding in the sunlight
Of my view
It's better than the notion I once knew
I'm transient and fading next to you
The words I say mean something yes but only if I speak them
But I was trained to just be silent
Trained to retreat in my world of song
So loud in my own ears the outside cannot reach me
Here the ocean lies before me
I'm running soaring crashing
Over you
Tugging at the wires
I see you
Blinding in the sunlight
Is my truth
It's better than the notion I once knew
I'm transient and fading out of view
Over you
Tugging at the wires
I see you
Blinding in the sunlight
Is my truth
It's better than the notion I once knew
I'm transient and fading out of view
(Three more years
What will it take to
Swallow my fear
Drop the mistake for
Three more years
What will it take to
Swallow my fear
Drop the mistake for
Three more years
What will it take to
Swallow my fear
Drop the mistake for
Three more years
What will it take to
Swallow my fear
Drop the mistake for)
