I might have wings but I'm sinking down, All of this because I'm stuck in this town. I'm all alone in this pitch black night, All I want is a path with some light. Hope in my smile a gleam in my eye, I just want the truth so don't you dare lie. Life is nothing more than just a breeze, so why do we try so hard others pleas. My hopes and dreams can reach the sky, but when I'm falling I never seem to fly. Where I live time passes very slow, and that just makes my heart beat so low.
