Lyrics

Mortality is sewn into men like me
A quick-fraying stitch on the edge of reality
I step into the future with my weight on my heels
Walking away from the past that allows me to feel
But there's nothing more beautiful
Than the flowers whose blooming I've missed
Or the suns that have fallen
Over horizons that I haven't yet kissed
But I can fly
And I will chase the sky
There's beauty in decay of fallen leaves onto sodden ground
A perfect picture of the life in me that I found
And there's nothing that the world can do or say
That will haunt me more than these walls will if I stay
And I can fly
And I will chase the sky
And look at this person I have become
Constantly reliving battles I could've won
It's in my sorrow that I justify
Ascending this world as I watch it disalign
And I am a story that cannot escape its own ending
I live my life knowing that the last page will upend me, upend me
And I can fly
And I will chase the sky
And I can fly
And I will face the sky
Mortality is sewn into men like me
