Another empty tomorrow
Another bird that's fallen out of the sky
Sun-bleached and defeated
An army of white flags flying high
Bones cracked and shattered
Their feeble wings masked with false hope of flight
Broken hearts and dead dreams
We're told there's no limit to how high
The endless sight of grey clouds
A glass ceiling that holds in the sky
The death of all things eager
A draining climb that ends beneath soil and dirt
We spend our lives in cages
It wasn't supposed to be this way
In a drought we pray for rain
But the weather never changes
We're stuck in place
And back in the beginning
The world was at our feet
But we hit the ceiling at full speed
Falling back to Earth we accept defeat
The dreams that we'll never realize
Die with us in a shallow grave
I just wanna be something
I just wanna be someone
But I guess I'll behave
