Broken Wings - Evergrey

From loss into your embrace

I fled the fear and the dark of day

Like an angel of fallen grace

My broken wings can’t hold my weight

I came so close that I felt the flames

I came so close that I’ll never be safe again

I’d give anything to find a way

To leave the fear and evacuate

Come reach inside my inner fear

Come feel my sorrow and my tears

My broken wings can’t hold my weight

Through the dark of day

Leave that guilt-stained cross behind

Free your arms do it one by one

It’s not your fault you are not to blame

Your wing-clipped past should not bring you shame

And the years that you still endured

Should work as strength to see past it all

Come reach inside my inner fear

Come feel my sorrow and my tears

My broken wings can’t hold my weight

Through the dark of day

All hope’s been burnt to ashes

And I’m so tired of hiding the bruises

My broken wings can’t take me

Through the dark of day

Deep cuts will not help you heal

The pain inflicted is just false relief

Precious moments where you can dream

Of a day when you too can feel

Come reach inside my inner fear

Come feel my sorrow and my tears

My broken wings can’t hold my weight

Through the dark of day

Through the dark of day

All hope’s been burnt to ashes

And I’m so tired of hiding the bruises

My broken wings can’t take me

Through the dark of day
