Lyrics Bird With a Broken Wing - 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
'til 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 spiderweb.
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 the butterfly
in the panic room.
Though I won't be missed
I would say it's time
for a different twist
in the story line.
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.
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.
The anthem of a bird
with a broken wing.
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 story line.
