Lyrics

I can fly I really can wave good-bye familiar land

I believe in my ability to soar, saying farewell to the familiar ground.

Catch the wind make my climb breathin in born again feelin fine

Capturing the wind, ascending, breathing in, experiencing a rebirth, and feeling positive.

I can fly above distress I can fly to heaven no less

I have the power to rise above troubles and ascend to a heavenly state.

Leave the earth forget the time light as air I don't care feelin fine

Leaving earthly concerns, ignoring time, feeling weightless, and not caring about trivial matters.

Don't say I'm crazy don't say I'm out of my head

Requesting not to be labeled as crazy or irrational.

I might be crazy but one thing's for certain one thing's for sure

Acknowledging a potential eccentricity but asserting certainty about one particular thing.

I can fly above the sea I can fly hey look at me

Expressing the ability to fly over the sea and seeking acknowledgment.

Without a net leave it behind

Flying without a safety net and leaving the past behind.

Feelin good feelin free feelin so fine

Feeling positive, liberated, and enjoying the experience.


My lofty purchase high above I'm losing sight of you

Being at a great height, losing sight of someone or something below.

I'm climbing up just like a kite the calm before the storm

Climbing upward like a kite, anticipating a disturbance after a period of calm.

When all at once it dawned on me where I'm not supposed to be

Realizing a mistake and being in a place where one shouldn't be.

Clouds are black the sky is red I'm where the angles fear to tread

Encountering ominous signs with black clouds and a red sky, in a place feared even by angels.

I feel like I've lost my way

Feeling lost and unsure of the correct path.


Down and down and down I go I've lost all sense of my direction

Descending rapidly without a clear sense of direction.

This flaming spitfire flight has come undone

A metaphorical flight characterized by intensity and passion is unraveling.

Grounding stages of rejection I am not worthy to have even tried

Experiencing stages of rejection, feeling unworthy, and acknowledging failure.

Help me annihilate this foolish pride where Icarus died

Seeking help to overcome pride and prevent a fall like Icarus.


I say the act of my contrition be sure to bless all before I die

Expressing remorse and seeking forgiveness before facing potential consequences.

Save my seat in the smoking section cut me loose and say good-bye

Asking to be released and bidding farewell, possibly facing a life-threatening situation.

I wake up on the doctors table where life and death are up for grabs

Awakening in a critical situation where life and death hang in the balance.

I'm comin I'm comin you better shoot me

Expressing determination to survive despite challenges.

Kill the pain and count the scabs no no no get out of my black dream

Desiring an escape from a nightmarish scenario, pleading to end the pain.

Give me life give me life I'll make a vow

Pleading for a chance at life and making a commitment to resist temptation.

I'll resist temptation I promise here and now

Promising to resist temptations in the present moment.

You see it all started when I was younger they said I was good

Reflecting on past praises but questioning one's true worth.

But I thought they said great

Misinterpreting compliments, possibly leading to a downfall.

I crown myself the king of liars I am what I have learned to hate

Self-awareness of embracing deceitful behaviors, becoming what one despises.
