I walked the streets without regret
I stood alone and watched myself fall apart
Answered the voices in my head
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart
When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall
Back down again
But everything that's any good
I understand that I've been misunderstood
When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall
Until we fall, until we fall
Back down again
Yeah, back down again
Do you see before you blink
Do you feel before you think
Who do you battle in your dreams
Who strokes your feathers until you scream
When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall
Until we fall, until we fall
Back down again
Yeah, back down again
