My mind has been locked
I can’t let reality in
There’s just one thing I want
But my body is simply broken

There’s one thing in this life
That keeps my heart pumping
But once I felt the knife,
Those desperate tears kept coming

My hears was instantly shattered
Once I heard your biting words
Nothing would have mattered
If I could just keep flying with the birds
