Dani Sylvia - Feathers

I know a boy with a sin-sunken face
Smiles and buries his pain under chemical veins
Like a bandaid on top of the bleeding bullet place

I know a boy with a war in his eyes
He can't love me sober
But neither can I
Said he ain't scared of drowning
Guess he's done that a thousand times

He doesn't know I hear him cry

Teach me to fly
I'm dying I'm dying to come alive
If I fall from the height
Then maybe the angels and I collide
And they'll sew feathers in my spine
They'll teach me how to fly

I know a woman who should have known better
Let men rule her body until she was tethered
She was carrying life
Had to bid it goodbye
Shame came to get her

Her childhood bedroom catches fire
And now she's burning every night
(She's crying)

Teach me to fly
I'm dying I'm dying to come alive
If I fall from the height
Then maybe the angels and I collide
And they'll sew feathers in my spine
They'll teach me how to fly

I'll untie my own my own mind I know
I'll untie my own my own mind I know
I'll untie my own my own mind I know
I'll untie my own my own mind I know

I know better than waiting on angels
Said I know better than waiting on angels
My rusty wings are weak and tired
But they always got me pretty high

Teach me to fly
I'm dying I'm dying to come alive
If I fall from the height
Then maybe the angels and I collide
And they'll sew feathers in my spine
Teach me how to fly
