Flight Without Feathers

[Intro]

There's a rose that blooms

Through the cracks in the concrete

Staining the prison floor

There's a pilgrimage waiting sat at the doorstep

Rotting beneath the sun (Sun, sun, sun, sun)

When there's nowhere left to hide

We'll be searching for a shortcut

Ire and denial are as thick as thieves

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe

Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe

Tell me how to coexist when a fraction only wants war

Hopelessly in love with our gritted teeth

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe

I forgot to breathe, and look who's on the throne now

A dead heretic with no storm left to weather

Afraid to admit, it won't sustain the spirit

A new counterfeit like flight without feathers

Ready to submit, it won't sustain the spirit

(It won't sustain the spirit)

So we fall to our knees and beg for reprieve

But it's almost time for the curtain call

The apostles will sing and lead us from sin

But they hold all of our bones in their hands

We all swim against the tide until it puts us on the back foot

Nothing's ever tasted half as good as grief

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe

Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe

'Cause I'm starin' at a fist and it's askin' if I want more

Clarity will visit, but it's only brief

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe

Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe

A dead heretic with no storm left to weather

Afraid to admit, it won't sustain the spirit

A new counterfeit like flight without feathers

Ready to submit, it won't sustain the spirit

(It won't sustain the spirit)
