Mobile Orchestra cover
06. Bird With a Broken Wing
Album: Mobile Orchestra
Artist: Owl City
         
 

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

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

It's another night
Of the living dead
Like a viper bite
In a spider web
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 a butterfly
In the panic room
Though I won't be missed
I would say it's time
For a different twist
In the storyline

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

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

Tell the world I know
That my mind is made
It's a horror show
But I'm not afraid
Though I won't be missed
I would say it's time
For a different twist
In the storyline
