It's the time of year again, when the night is dim I can see the tail of the wind, we'll soon begin We'll leave the town forget our kind, my bird my wing I can see the way in frosty air, my bird my wing We're just takin' off Take me to the wall For you my day just grew Her feather bleeds a fading blue. The tail is true We glide the night without no sound. Her wings don't move We're miles from the start Take me to the wall For you my day just grew My day just grew My day just grew Soar with me Won't you take me to the wall, my bird my wing The wind it whispers words so few, the land, for you The waves are white just like the moon, the trees, brand new Gently down her talons hit the ground, my bird my wing We're just calming down It's more than I could want For you my day just grew My day just grew My day just grew Soar with me

Push me to the edge it's kinda frightening By shifting gears with perfect timing Wanna live my life in California, let's just go away Voices in my mind and I'm just trying to fight it The sun is warm stays out the darkness The engines low and the purr is quiet Well can we go out to the races? lets just go away Voices in my head and I don't seem to buy it When it's me we're not just winning babe When it's me we're all just sinning babe And I've been yeah I've been here before When it's me we're not just winning babe When it's me we're all just sinning babe And I've seen yeah I've seen this before When it's me we're all just... Push me to the edge I kinda like it By shifting gears with perfect timing Wanna live my life in California, can we go away? Voices in my head and I'm just tryin to fight it Sand keeps you warm babe come out and try it All dusty roads it's all just beach there Well can we go out to the races? lets just go away Voices in my head and I don't seem to mind it When it's me we're not just winning babe When it's me we're not just sinning babe And I've been yeah I've been here before When it's me we're not just winning babe When it's me we're all just sinning babe And I've seen yeah I've seen this before When it's me we're all just... When it's me we're not just winning babe When it's me we're all just sinning babe And I've been yeah I've been here before When it's me we're not just winning babe When it's me we're all just sinning babe And I've seen yeah I've seen this before When it's me we're all just...

Before I lose my touch, help me man my fuels not enough And when I lose my sight, guide me man I just won't know Guide me man I fail to control I break from you, these hands I've never seen them before And I drop my mind, I'm wanted before committing the crime Hush my body's cold, the lights are all gone (gone away) Hush my body's cold, there's a breeze in my home Seamless glass in haunted rooms I know their secrets Look through me with eyes that bleed I feel the treason Words seep through these black stained walls they speak no reason Suddenly the ghosts walk past and leave us sleepless I feel confused, you were one I thought I could trust And I break down, the walls they pressure me to the ground The ghosts they scream without any sound I break from you, these hands I've never seen them before I'm losing time, it's fading like the sense in my mind Hush my body's cold, the lights are all gone (gone away) Hush my body's cold, there's a breeze in my home Seamless glass in haunted rooms I know their secrets Look through me with eyes that bleed I feel the treason Words seep through these black stained walls they speak no reason Suddenly the ghosts walk past and leave us sleepless
