LYRICS.TXT
They clip your wings when you fly too high
They don't want you to go where their chains could never hold
They take your soul when you go too loud
Say you're treading onto very thin ice
Do the birds know they're supposed to land
Or do they grow tired of flapping their wings?
Does the thunder know it's deafening
Or do the oceans know they're trembling?
They clip your wings when you fly too high
Too much for them, too strong to deny
Oh, the pedestal they said you'd grow out from
You just suffocate while they're all around
They clip your wings when you go too far
The life you thought you would always have
Travelled so far just to be caged in daylight
You never know when to give up, no, you don't
No, you don't, you never do, you never do
You never do, you never do
Do the bees collect honey for the generations to come?
Do the seeds know they'll bloom right where they are?
Do the mountains know they're far too grand?
If we do get the choice, what would you have done?
Oh, they clip your wings when you soar so high
Free, and it's all you want, you never tire
Until one day you stopped growing wings
You free fall into the what-could've-beens
