Capo on 1

()    

these days, i am used to strangers 

with no hello behind their eyes 
i cut my dreams from paper 
and i know my subway lines 
the last thing that i need is saving 

but i'm having trouble sleepin' 
feels like my skin is gonna tear 

i want to breathe even, but there's not enough air 
to give me the liftoff i'm craving 

so i'll remember this 

as i stretch my wings: 
for birds like me, 

every beat's a reckoning 
and i'll take a breath 

think i'm gaining ground 
but so did icarus before he came tearing down 

these days, smiling is a talent 
i may as well paint up a mask 

and label it "manhattan" 
and maybe then no one will ask 
i'm too scared to say that i'm tired 

'cause i can get very high praises 

from friends in high places 
                           A 
but each time i say that i'm fine 
i know i'm the liar 

i've been told 
that lonely souls 
never make it past the threshold but i 
won't give in 
to the heaviness 
i deserve something to win 

so i'll remember this 

as i stretch my wings: 
for birds like me, 

every beat's a reckoning 
and i'll take a breath 
kicking off the ground 
oh brother icarus; i'll fly before coming down
down,   down
