I was a proper broken, broken bird just twitchin' with my wings in the glass
I hurt my beak from sniffin' too many things
And now the air's in my, got some air in my wings
Got some air in my, got some air in my wings
Caught some air in my, got some air, yeah, I caught some air

Winter pushes my thoughts south when I start to fly

But the wind has other plans
And then I'm survivin' in my head, ooh-ooh-ooh
Tryin' to survive it in my own head, ooh-ooh-ooh
And then I'm survivin' in my head, ooh-ooh-ooh
Tryin' to survive it in my own head, ooh-ooh

The people walkin' down in the street always try some clever things
To socialize
Anglin' to get a little closer to their prize
But I put up walls and fight for space to get some shelter from the storm
That's when the shadow forms
Isolatin' in my room and dreamin' about the views

Winter pushes my thoughts south when I start to fly

But the wind has other plans
And then I'm survivin' in my head, ooh-ooh-ooh
Tryin' to survive it in my own head, ooh-ooh-ooh
And then I'm survivin' in my head, ooh-ooh-ooh
Tryin' to survive it in my own head, ooh-ooh

The white morning static
Ebbs and flows on my waking breath
The child inside peers through my tired eyes
To change, to call out in prayer
And ask for help from up there
Is anybody out there?
I can hear it, and I know
When the walls are grey and faded away
When the walls turn grey, I'm fadin' away
The color in the walls just faded away
