One Wing

Who knew heaven could be so far,

yet so close that I feel it’s soothing breath on my face.
This planet no longer provides me with the comfort I need.

Using my puddles of tears to keep me afloat;
my life is a test, I never have the answers too

maybe the answer is to stop fighting for good.

I can't, I can't, I can't fly with one wing (One wing)

I can't (Fly with one wing)1

But I need to keep punching the light out of my darkness.

Maybe one wing is all I need,

to keep me from falling into hell.

Ferociously pushing myself up from within,

my wing is drenched in the blood of those that mean the most to me.

The blood, sweat, and tears are beginning to cloud my vision.

Even the clearest pathways feel like needles raking across my flesh.

leaving a trail of blood behind me with every step I take

I can't, I can't, I can't fly with one wing (One wing)

Flapping my wing even though it’s as tired as the oldest bird in the sky.

Trying to preserve my peace without breaking into pieces myself,

consoling the pieces of my soul while portraying myself whole.

Enduring the pain, hoping one day I will conquer this obstacle.

Knowing the outcome will be brighter than heaven,

because I’ve finally reached high enough to touch paradise.

I can't, I can't, I can't fly with one wing (One wing)

I can't (Fly with one wing)
