I soar on wings of other's downfalls
They take me far away from my own
Though the life I live is fleating
The sky has become my home
Looking down on others
With strength I don't possess
Clouds obscuring my flaws
Sun illuminating my best
Every time I think to land
My wings keep me high
I'm sheltered from the mockery
By the hands of the sky
Even though I know this isn't
The life I want to lead
The sky is my only family
and so I'll never leave...
