lyrics

High above these filthy streets
Where glass and needles cut our feet
lightning strikes and burns the old ways down
grit my teeth and cast the first stone
quarantined in all our glass homes
I'll be the shout to blow the windows out
I can't wait to see their face when all the lies are all erased
I can taste all of their sweet tears now
so when you look up to the sky
know that it's me making rain when I cry
know that it's me who took pain for a life
and traded his soul just to fight off the night

I'm having conversations with constellations
staring up to the stars and never wondering why
another self-reflection I'll never mention
I've got no direction but this boy can fly

Just when you thought the darkness would prevail
the master of brightness will pierce through the veil
digital entities are all erased
the human abstract, I'm not without a face
between the buried and me, I have swam to the moon
painted in exile, broke out of this room
this isn't the way that we're all gonna die
look up to the sky it's the boy who could fly, so high!

I climbed the tallest mountains
I sailed the seven seas
I fought Minotaur sacks on saddle-backs and I brought them to their knees
I pulled myself from the darkest depths and I flew over the trees
so before you question my intentions
just know that you're nothing special... bitch

I'm having conversations with constellations
staring up to the stars and never wondering why
another self-reflection I'll never mention
I've got no direction but this boy can fly

Break the chains that hold us down
I want to tear down the walls
and shed light on this whole damn town
burn it all to the ground but

I'm having conversations with constellations
staring up to the stars and never wondering why
another self-reflection I'll never mention
I've got no direction but this boy can fly
