Aluminum Wings

Nobody knows who you are

Or who you want to be

But you closed the book

And marked the page

Where your desires meet

You're just an animal fumbling

Through your own filth and your greed

You're just an animal

Caged and cornered without a key

If you could speak the way you spoke when you're asleep

You're a masterpiece when you're weak

What would you trade for everybody's loyalty?

Cut ties with what you need

If heaven sang your name in vain how will you plead

In spite of all your dreams, truthfully?

If you could speak the way you speak when you're asleep

You'd be gifting yourself a pair of aluminum wings

Everyone knows who you are

And who you tried to be

You took the place

Of your own faith and mediocrity

You're just an animal fumbling

Through your own filth and your greed

You're just an animal

Caged and cornered without a key

If you could speak the way you spoke when you're asleep

You're a masterpiece when you're weak

What would you trade for everybody's loyalty?

Cut ties with what you need

If heaven sang your name in vain how will you plead

In spite of all your dreams, truthfully?

If you could speak the way you speak when you're asleep

You'd be gifting yourself a pair of aluminum wings

You'll conquer every story

You'll ever learn to write

If you could speak the way you spoke when you're asleep

You're a masterpiece when you're weak

What would you trade for everybody's loyalty?

Cut ties with what you need

If heaven sang your name in vain how will you plead

In spite of all your dreams, truthfully?

If you could speak the way you speak when you're asleep

You'd be gifting yourself a pair of aluminum wings
