Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Clip my wings before I fly
Clip my wings so I can die
Pressed against the dirt
You can't feel my hurt
Watch your shadow paint the sky
As I follow in my mind
Forever falling short
Too many thoughts to sort

Flat on my face
I can't keep pace
But someday I'll be on top
High above you all
In spite of my history, this is me
I've got no farther left to fall

Shoot me down, I'm in my prime
Shoot me down, you've done no crime
It's all a pecking order
That we all must shoulder
Watch your shadow fill a space
In spite of all that falls from grace
The circle's spinning
The new's beginning

Flat on my face
And I still need my space
But someday I'll be on top
High above you all
In spite of my history, this is me
I've got no farther left to fall
Clip my wings before I fly   Clip my wings so I can die   Pressed against the dirt   You can't feel my hurt   Watch your shadow paint the sky   As I follow in my mind   Forever falling short   Too many thoughts to sort      Flat on my face   I can't keep pace   But someday I'll be on top   High above you all   In spite of my history, this is me   I've got no farther left to fall      Shoot me down, I'm in my prime   Shoot me down, you've done no crime   It's all a pecking order   That we all must shoulder   Watch your shadow fill a space   In spite of all that falls from grace   The circle's spinning   The new's beginning      Flat on my face   And I still need my space   But someday I'll be on top   High above you all   In spite of my history, this is me   I've got no farther left to fall
