lyrics

She's had enough of the withering rough
and planting seeds that never seem to yield
In a war that she's fought there before
She's mending wounds that never seem to heal

But I know that there's never been proof
That the pain inside of you will ever produce
A chance to live, without a regret
Save your last breath for your death
Save a chance to reset yourself

Give me my signs now, I'm waiting
But the clouds are camouflage
And the silent figures are telling me
My sunburnt wings can't fly at all

Because this is the death of you
It is the birth of something new
The abandonment of the raging skies
A vivid view through the white raven's eyes

I've held my life in the pull of a trigger
Praying - "forgive me I’ve tried
I was just hoping to find
Waiting to find a place where I could land
I hope someday you'll understand"

But I was not lost, I was just finding my own way
No matter what cost, the sun was still setting on my days
You were not mine, and I was not yours to follow
So I filled up my cup, plastered over the hollow

Hold out your arms, are you flying or falling?
An empty cockpit and you still feel nothing
Hold out your heart, are you living or dying?
An empty casket and you still feel nothing

Abandon yourself, release a white raven
I'm fragile myself, but we are worth saving
Untangle the cords, release a white raven
Imagine yourself, beautifully braving....
