lyrics

The night falls on the city
That’s lost in its fog
The bird, it follows blindly
The bird that cannot fall
It spreads its wings, it bathes in
The glow of firelight
‘Cause after all, who’s heard of
A bird afraid of heights?

And even though the rain falls
The bird still flies
Freely as the wind and
Leaves the past behind

CHORUS:

We breathe in the memories
Breathe
We breathe in the storm ahead
Breathe
We’re destined to fail but we
Won’t admit defeat
We breathe

Delighting in the truth and
Encouraged from a lie
Either way, the bird finds
The strength to fly
Determined to survive,
It flies higher in the sky
And little does the bird know
It’s not alone tonight

And even though the rain falls
The bird still flies
Freely as the wind and
Laughter by its side

CHORUS

And the night is filled with
Light that never fades
Drowning in moonlight
Dreading the day
And when the sun rises
All pretenses fall
Even the winner
Is lost in the fog

We breathe in the memories
Breathe
We breathe in the storm ahead
Breathe
We wish we didn’t race
We wish that we were free
We are destined to fail but we
Won’t admit defeat
We breathe
Breathe

And even as the night ends
The bird still flies
Freely as the wind and
Finally alive
