[Intro]
Who's there?
I've forgotten
Who said
"Run away"?
Run where?
Oh

[Verse 1]
Against the walls and armed forgotten
This amputee holds mending tools
I look to the left to see the hand on the knife
Chiseled at glance, improved the stone paradigm
Must hurry back before the endless rise

[Chorus]
Paradise employs the martyr
I'm too willing to take the name from them

[Verse 2]
Approach the clouds, a winged imposter
To trip among the gods so proud
I look to the right to see my feet to the sky
Embellish the fall to encourage the lie
Must hurry back before the endless rise
[Chorus]
Paradise denies the lover
I'm too willing to take the name for them

[Verse 3]
Sever the scavenger's wings
Casting out from the heavens unbeautiful things
Beggars, orphans, willful widows clutch the ground
Hopeless, outcast harlots trying to hold on
We're all so willing to take from them

[Bridge]
[?]

[Chorus]
Take the feathers, if you wish
I will fly with or without them
Fly, fly on high
