Flightless Bird

Alexa Melo


Maybe I wanted this
Maybe I made it happen
With my mind
They say my subconscious reins
And it's been pulling the strings
The whole time
Like a backstabbing friend
With ulterior motives

Maybe I wanted this
Like a flightless bird
I've got two wings
But they're useless

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

I wish I could feel it again
The anger I used to feel up inside my gut
The fury has lost its edge
And now it's round and dull where it used to cut
Just another miscarriage
A failed marriage
Abort mission

Yeah, I wanted this
Like a flightless bird
I've got two wings (yeah)
But they're useless

Will it even make a sound?
When it comes pummeling down?
Will it even make a sound?
When it comes pummeling down?
And there's no one around

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

Have you seen my wings
Aren't they the prettiest things you've ever seen
Such a sad story
They locked me in purgatory
And threw away the key
And maybe I'm really a witch and got black magic
Always wreaks havoc
And those around me
Yeah, nobody gives a shit
That I'm a flightless bird
And I've got 2 wings
But they're clipped
