I walked the streets without regret I stood alone and watched myself fall apart Answered the voices in my head Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart When I'm tired and I'm feeling black Spread the wings upon your back Take us high above it all Stroke your feathers until we fall Back down again Bought everything that sounded good I understand that I've been misunderstood When I'm tired and I'm feeling black Spread the wings upon your back Take us high above it all Stroke your feathers until we fall Until we fall, until we fall Back down again Yeah, back down again What do you feel before you think What do you see before you blink Who do you battle in your dreams Who strokes your feathers until you scream And when I'm tired and I'm feeling black Spread the wings upon your back Take us high above it all Stroke your feathers until we fall Until we fall, until we fall Back down again Yeah, back down again
