Flightless Bird

(album: Afterglow - 2021)

All this time I am locked in my own maze
I built it up from memories
I think it's quite okay
But sometimes it's bursting me in fear
When I am on my way
Try to find a way out here
It seems I just can't change

It is far too long
I feel out of breath
Will you carry on
If I can't make these steps
Will you guide me through
Will you take my hand
Will you stay with me
'Til I understand

But it's like snowflakes in the summer
Like fallen leaves in Spring
I'm feeling lost and lonely
When I'm in a happy place
I feel like I'm a flightless bird
Fall for each and every word
To tear my heart again

Did I make my way?
Did I get out alive?
Now that I have made it through
How can I leave behind

This will always be a memory
An oil stain on a deep blue sea
An ugly crack on a lonely street
And I have to live my life with it

But it's like snowflakes in the summer
Like fallen leaves in Spring
I'm feeling lost and lonely
When I'm in a happy place
I feel like a flightless bird
Fall for each and every word
To tear my heart again

A sightseeing, [?]
Will I always be with these broken wings
Left me falling my whole life
Until I fall to you

It's like I'm chasing down this feeling
As I try to hide away
Wish I could fly above it
But I'm lost in my own grave
And every time I try to feel
Like we're back in 2016
I hear you calling out for me
Flightless birds we're meant to be

But it's like snowflakes in the summer
Like fallen leaves in Spring
I'm feeling lost and lonely
When I'm in a happy place
I feel like a flightless bird
Fall for each and every word
To tear my heart again

I feel like a flightless bird
Fall for each and every word
