Run far away til they dont catch you

The price of your wings makes you a forgotten stranger

One day you are here, and the next youve changed

Can you blame them for not knowing?

I never asked to be so weightless

Yet I have craved it since birth

I knew then, what I know now

That honey is sweeter than milk

I am strong now

Stronger than I have been

I have haphazardly prepared for the day I am on my own

Ive been fighting since before then

I came flapping and fighting like a moth in the night

Fight the sleep and search for a light

You find the end of the tunnel in a flame

And you enter a new day with your fists still swinging

I used to think I was here to burn out

But I find there is yet more years left of me

And through hollow bones and strength just enough to get me off the ground

I will not stop running the tired track

Until I have found the very best of me

And get to see it shine through my skin

It will be from in my blood
