There's a part of you that's still holding on
To all of the things you're afraid may be gone
Struck dumb and paralyzed and shakin' with fright
Afraid to recognize that you might be right
Like a bird with a branch thrust through it's lung
You can't let go of what you can't become
Life burns to ash on the tip of your tongue
Because you have forgotten from where you come
I was pinned under a pillar of falsified stone
Demons of my psyche rendin' flesh from bone
Harsh designs on my muscles my spirit is meat
Praying for a deity take me off my feet
As the jaws of death clamp down on my waiting skin
Closing in on my life, notifying next of kin
The Earth is my mother but the sky is her origin
Original lineage summon power within

CHORUS:
I saw the moon it was like it was calling my name
Bid me to come like a moth dancin' around a flame
I was so afraid I would one day have to come down
Do anything just to keep my feet off the ground

The mindborn shackles that bind earth-bound wings
Keep your mouth muzzled though your heart sings
Sweet thoughs of the air your terror denies
Though you walk the streets your eyes watch the skies
Like a fish with silt clogging its gills
You're holding onto wishes that you won't fulfill
Dodging your dreams with gusto and skill
You deny your desires cause you know that life kills
You won't take the plunge but you still hold your breath
Possibilities taunt you with your distress
Not afraid of monsters or dragons or death
But that you'll try and fail and have nothing left

CHORUS

There's a part of you that's afraid to let go
Of the awareness that you have no control
Submit and let the current pull you along
Learn to accept that you might be wrong
Like a dead soul afraid to go into the light
You resist the potential with all of your might
Find the strength to dare the will to release
Take your leap of faith down through the trees
Limbs growing tendrils feathers forming from hair
Gravity is a lover not a burden to bear
The world unveling its petals to a mind unaware
The first archaeopterix born into the air
The line that divides the earth from the sky
Is only illusory, a trick of the eye
You can orientate in the heights and the depths
When we meet again you will owe me a debt

CHORUS

So when you sink into the depths of despair
For you're looking for heaven and you find it's not there
But the path of your eye has travelled too far
The Earth itself is flying amidst the stars
