Fly

(2014)

When I was a girl, I used to fly 

Soaring high 

Up in the sky 

Drifting from rooftop to rooftop 

And I would lie among the soft cotton clouds. 

I traveled the world 

Free as could be 

Just me and the birds 

As if there were 

Endless time 

with 

Infinite possibilities 

But it doesn't work that way 

And it became harder to stay 

Afloat. 

Until one day, I couldn't fly. 

And try as I may, 

My feet never left the ground. 

That was the day I died. 

I buried my soul 

Deep, deep down in a hole 

Where the flowers grew 

And no one knew. 

I visit my grave every night 

'Cause sometimes in my dreams, 

I try to take flight 

But it always ends the same. 

Falling 

falling 

falling. 

Into that grave of brokenhearts. 

And that is when i realize 

Trapped in a prison 

Created by my mind 

Ensnared by my own kind 

That I am the one who 

won't 

let 

me 

fly.
