Bird with a Broken Wing lyrics

[Verse 1]

So I walk alone down the darkest roads

Cause I've always known how the story goes

When the curtain falls I'll be wearing thin

Clawing at the walls as they're closing in

In this twisted plot I was destined for

I'm an astronaut on the ocean floor

So misunderstood 'till the bloody end

How I wish I could do it all again

[Chorus]

It feels like I'm a lone survivor

Forgotten in a dark and deadly world

And on my own I walk alone

To see the sun again I'd give anything

But life demands a final chapter

A story that we all must leave behind

It's do or die, and this is mine

The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

[Verse 2]

It's another night of the living dead

Like a viper bite in a spiderweb

It's so deathly dark in the alleyway

And a bleeding heart makes you easy prey

I would run and hide for the afternoon

With the butterfly in the panic room

Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time

For a different twist in the story line

[Chorus]

It feels like I'm a lone survivor

Forgotten in a dark and deadly world

And on my own I walk alone

To see the sun again I'd give anything

But life demands a final chapter

A story that we all must leave behind

It's do or die, and this is mine

The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

[Chorus]

It feels like I'm a lone survivor

Forgotten in a dark and deadly world

And on my own I walk alone

To see the sun again I'd give anything

But life demands a final chapter

A story that we all must leave behind

It's do or die, and this is mine

The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

[Verse 3]

Tell the world I know that my mind is made

It's a hard show, but I'm not afraid

Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time

For a different twist in the story line
