Irreversible (The Flight of Our Old Wings)
Look inside my mind
See if you cant find
Something to remind
Of a time when we burned down the town, together
Maybe talk straight
Before its too late
I havent sucked your blood for years
Too tired to be a parasite
And Im too tired to fight
And if your emotions keep spilling out
Cause you want to be seen, an indulgent shout
Write another song, another bitter wrong
Then I guess no one else hurts except you
So youll start a revolt
To where for what
You know exactly what your not
So scared of just being you
You want some glossy wings
I dont know where you flew
Maybe you found better things
Anyone can play guitar
Maybe your just running from what you are
So sorted, so how did we get so distorted
In self obsession, outward depression
And all this aggression in all we write
Youll get too tired to fight
Cause you want to be seen, in a world I hate
Is it really too late,
To write another song, about everything thats wrong
About how to forgive means more than to take
Maybe youve got better things
But I remember the flight of our old wings
We burnt the town to the ground
You and I |
