FEATHERS

Feathers fall from our back

Once we lied

We don't want to pretend we belong

To the sky above

Like angels or so

Yet we have feathers they fall

We'll never fit at all

Once you said I need to be fixed

I teared myself apart

Thought I would be fixed

By your hand

Which turned out to be a lie

I lied myself

Left myself behind

Here we are

Trying to fly

Feathers, they'll fall more and more

Til the day we die

If I keep knocking to your door

I'll lose them first

Why would I? 

It's like I'm in a dark room

A piano playing your song

The one asking to stay forever

But the only things that'll fall forever

Are our feathers

Not even they'll stay forever

One second before we die

All of them would've already said goodbye

A rare and beautiful thing to watch

And painful like it can't be explained

To see each other lose our feathers

When it's the time and you're ready

To go somewhere, outer space, 

Without feathers

Feathers given at birth, 

Taken by death, 

How beautiful they are

When we don't know who we are, 

And maybe we'll never get to know, 

But we'll learn who we are not, 

And probably we'll never fit, 

Not in this world, 

But we're here to fly after all

And that's all I can think of tonight

I wish it could come from my mouth

But I don't want you to fly like I fly

so I don't know how

I guess I'm never pretending again 

And it may take chances from me

But I'd be leaving myself behind again

Choosing what's important for me

Cause when it rains hard

You will keep your flight

Even if I fall, keep going if I fall, 

Cause I might lose these feathers or try hard

But I'm never trying hard again to be

Someone to fit, someone I'm not.
