Blackbirds

Alright, Alright
All I ever wanted was to
Be liked, be right
Seemed like every time I tried to
Break outside
Bottles of blackbirds surround my coffin
Fear of heights
Cover my eyes and I can't see nothin
Alright alright
I don't think it's safe without you
Will I, will I
Will I ever find a way to
Face these lights
Shots in the dark keep me up and running
Scared to fly
Dare me to jump

I close my eyes
With open arms held wide
Learn to fall
Tomorrow's cannonball
Through the night
You see my fire, fire, fire!
Stand in line
Watch me burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn, we burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn
As I break free

Alright, alright
Everything I wondered was true
Look at my eyes
They'll tell you everything I've been through
Sleepless nights
And bottles of blackbirds around my coffin
Fear of heights
Tell me to jump

I close my eyes
With open arms held wide
Learn to fall
Tomorrow's cannonball
Through the night
You see my fire, fire, fire!
Stand in line
Watch me burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn, we burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn, we burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn
As I break free

How can I
Keep holding on
When I realize
I'm hanging by threads all alone
Me, with no one else to count on
Free to fall
Or free to fly

I close my eyes
With open arms held wide
Learn to fall
Tomorrow's cannonball
Through the night
You see my fire, fire, fire!
Stand in line
Watch me burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn, we burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn, we burn
As I break free
We burn, we burn, we burn
We burn
As I break free
