oh how the wind swells and sighs in the night
breathing up air to the moon
quietly comforting my broken wings,
telling me i'll be home soon
and deep in the forest while the city sleeps
fairies flicker amber light
warms my wet body as i stir awake
gently guiding me to flight
because i will be home again in time
i will find my way back to your open window
and salt stings my scars as i fly over sea
whipping my face with the cold
skin worn and tattered and wings long exposed
following a path of gold
and watch over me like a motherless child
a rotten boy who's lost his way
breathe smoke and fire back into my guts
and beacon it always to stay
because i will be home again in time
i will find my way back to your open window
diving into sea, cold water swallows me
drenching my face with the cold
muscles bound and torn, still spirits swim reborn
i will find you through this maze
i know that we can build something better than we've ever seen
i know that we can build something better than we've ever seen
i know that we can build something better than we've ever seen
i know that we can build something better than we've ever seen
because i will be home again in time
i will find my way back to your open window
