Lyrics

 
all my bags are packed to go
there’s a diamond in my mind
begging hope, left to chance
I travel light, alone, and blind
 
all these faded dreams
breaking in my heart
all these faded scenes
tearing me apart
 
trapped inside an airport maze
shadows stir along the line
a gorgeous moment gone insane
with echoes of a pale design
 
(chorus)
 
metal wings that carve the air
a window seat among the clouds
sunlit fingers fade to night
(and) streak the sky with tattered shrouds
 
(chorus)
 
touching down on broken lines
a surge of power slows the pace
coming back to earthly fears
and darkness I alone can face
 
(chorus)
