[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Passed over for the show, passed over for the thrill, I'm sullen again and trying to mend, my heart which has been broken (just a bit), I'm feeling and fueling a feverish delight as I try, to distract myself-

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Why oh why is it not to be? Why can't this be mine, my destiny? I'm trying to force it, trying to will it to fit, but damnit it just doesn't, it just doesn't seem to make sense, so I'll distract myself instead-

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

Changing old patterns that once held me down, forcing new insights to grow and spring forth, I'm still distraught and dismayed but I'll stay the course, I hope (I hope) it will get easier-

[Chorus]

My body is sinking into this, the unknown the abyssal respite of a daylight's blight as I try to ignite the spark in my heart, to soar, I'll soar, I'll soar once more, I'll try, I'll try, to fly once more! Spreading my wings, singing a tune instead of dwelling on decisions unknown-

[Instrumental]

[Post-Chorus]

Pulling my heartstrings, seeing what stings and mending what breaks if it does, I'm flying right by as my mind whirls by, I'll try, I'll try to fly once more!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Metered measures and studied pressure as I wonder if I measure up? I'm feeling so funny as I fuel my fury, yet it abates as quickly as it comes, new dawn's arise as I try and I try and I fly, I'll fly again and (again, again)-

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]

Just playing by myself, just staying the course I set forth, there's nothing but me in this sprawling unknown, and I the captain, the guide, a pirate so stern, so able to steer the ship which glides by with ease-

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

Charting new waters and drawing new maps to treasures that once seemed too far out of reach, I'll seek new joys, I'll fiddle with toys I once thought too much, I'll try! I'll try!

[Chorus]

My body is sinking into this, the unknown the abyssal respite of a daylight's blight as I try to ignite the spark in my heart, to soar, I'll soar, I'll soar once more, I'll try, I'll try, to fly once more! Spreading my wings, singing a tune instead of dwelling on decisions unknown-

[Instrumental]

[Post-Chorus]

Pulling my heartstrings, seeing what stings and mending what breaks if it does, I'm flying right by as my mind whirls by, I'll try, I'll try to fly once more!

[Instrumental]

[Breakdown]

What does it mean when I careen side to side in the darkest of depths out at sea? What will I say when the years drip away and I'm dreaming of this, this and that? Will I fill fulfilled or merely humored instead, I don't know so hey, I'll try, I'll try to fly, yes I'll fly!

[Instrumental]
