Concrete Wings v2 - TaPe

[Verse 1] Landed on the ground, And the view is upside down. Maybe I don’t want to be around here… mm. Silence in my eyes, I’m stranded in the night— Feels like I got nowhere left to hide, dear. Concrete in my chest, A weight I can’t confess, I breathe like I’m pretending I’m alright. [Pre-Chorus] My head’s full of colors, But they leak from my eyes— All the blues, they discover Every crack in my pride. I smile and I cover, But the truth doesn’t lie— I’m a fire in the water Tryin’ to stay alive. [Chorus] Dreams exist, but they’re heavy, Impossible to lift— Still you flap anyway. Wings of stone, heart unsteady, Tryin’ not to quit— Still you flap anyway. If the sky won’t take me, If the ground won’t quit, I’ll learn to fly in place— Yeah, I flap anyway. [Verse 2] My concrete wings feel heavy, You said the earth was my home, But there’s no place to land, Nowhere that feels like I belong. I circle broken streets, Chase ghosts of “used to be,” Holdin’ onto sparks I shouldn’t need. And every “you’ll be fine” Is a blade in disguise— ’Cause I’m tired of survivin’ on my knees. [Pre-Chorus] And the world’s full of colors, But they leak from my eyes— All the greens, they discover Every bruise I deny. I tried to be stronger, I tried to comply, But the storm only honors The ones still alive. [Chorus] Dreams exist, but they’re heavy, Impossible to lift— Still you flap anyway. Wings of stone, heart unsteady, Tryin’ not to quit— Still you flap anyway. If the sky won’t take me, If the ground won’t quit, I’ll learn to fly in place— Yeah, I flap anyway. [Bridge] Maybe flight is not escape— Maybe flight is what I do When the ceiling starts to cave, When the darkness tells me “choose.” So I count my broken feathers Like they’re reasons to remain, And I turn this weight to weather, And I walk into the rain. If I fall, I fall forward— If I break, I break through. I won’t let the world decide What my suffering can do. [Build] Oh— I’m not done. Oh— I’m not done. [Final Chorus] Dreams exist, but they’re heavy, Impossible to lift— Still I flap anyway. Wings of stone, heart unsteady, Tryin’ not to quit— Still I flap anyway. Let the sky keep its distance, Let the ground try to win— I’ll make motion out of nothing, I’ll make music out of it. Dreams exist, but they’re heavy, Impossible to lift— Still I flap anyway. [Outro] Landed on the ground… View is upside down… But my hands are still in the air— I flap anyway.
