Tattered feathers and broken wings

by ..::Angel of your darkness::..   Oct 13, 2008


Maybe in time the petals will fall a little slower
Just enough time for me to reach out
Maybe in time the sky won't be so dark
Maybe some of the light will shine through
Just maybe it will reach me this time

If I could stop trying to fly
Maybe I'd stop falling from such great heights
Maybe if I just stay on the ground
It'd be so much safer

But how can I feel the freedom
If I'm not willing to try?

Sometimes you have to take those leaps of faith
Even if you fall
Because if you stop trying
You'll never find out if your wings really could work

I don't expect much
A kiss was more than enough for me
I don't know if I could handle anymore

But couldn't you have told me
The ice is cold down here
It's tearing at my skin
It's making me numb

If we flew together
Maybe we'd get somewhere

Are you too afraid to fly?
Are you too afraid to try?

I may not have the most beautiful feathers
But there strong
And although the wind sometimes pushes a little too hard

I'll never give up trying
The stars will see my eyes one day
And the sun will return my smile

You can stay here if you want
But you cant hold me down here with you

With broken wings
And ice cold skin
My feathers will once again embrace the sky

And one day the petals will fall a little slower
Just enough time for me to reach out

Maybe
Such a small word with so many risks
Well maybe
maybe it's worth it
And I'm going to find out
I'm going to fly away
