Feathery Wings
You, there on the bridgeWhere've you been, what's your name?And you, there on the wallWhere will you go to, once you fall?You, lost at seaDo you need me, do you need directions?Hey, put down the gunWhat are you thinking?You were someone's son
The taste of tearsThe sting of painThe smell of fearThe sounds of crying, oh
A long, long time ago, I fell to this placeFrom another dimensionAnd thrust amongst the beastsAnd the way they behave, it borders on dementiaNow through all these yearsI can barely take itI don't think I can make itTake me away from hereI want to go homeI'm so sick and tired of
The taste of tearsThe sting of painThe smell of fearThe sounds of crying, oh
As you're standing at the edge of your lifeWhat do you remember?Was it all you wanted?
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wingsI wish I could protect you hereOh, please don't cry, now, smileAs you're standing at the edge of your lifeYour troubles are overMine are just beginning
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wingsTo take me away from hereIt's me you leave behind
Oh, if only I could have been thereI'd be a hand for the sinkingIf only I could have been thereI'd be a prayer for the dyingSee the pain etched in my face,Oh, I'm so sick and tired of
The taste of tearsThe sting of painThe smell of fearThe sounds of crying, oh
As you're standing at the edge of your lifeWhat do you remember?Was it all you wanted?
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wingsI wish I could protect you hereOh, please don't cry, now, smileAs you're standing at the edge of your lifeYour troubles are overMine are just beginning
I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wingsTo take me away from hereIt's me you leave--
You're gone from hereDon't leave from hereDon't leave me hereI hate it hereYou're gone from hereDon't leave me hereI need you hereI need to see you smile
