I walked the streets without regret

I stood alone and watched myself fall apart

Answered the voices in my head

Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

When I'm tired and I'm feeling black

Spread the wings upon your back

Take us high above it all

Stroke your feathers until we fall

Back down again

But everything that's any good

I understand that I've been misunderstood

When I'm tired and I'm feeling black

Spread the wings upon your back

Take us high above it all

Stroke your feathers until we fall

Until we fall, until we fall

Back down again

Yeah, back down again

Do you see before you blink

Do you feel before you think

Who do you battle in your dreams

Who strokes your feathers until you scream

When I'm tired and I'm feeling black

Spread the wings upon your back

Take us high above it all

Stroke your feathers until we fall

Until we fall, until we fall

Back down again

Yeah, back down again
