The secret to life
Is learning to love
All the chaos
We fly with pasted-on wings
Too close to the sun
The melting wax drips
Into the ocean
But if we could escape
By bus or by train
Even by airplane we could
But we’d never escape our flesh
The casing of a body
When the story ends in death
Yes, the story ends in death
God sure knows how to put
The damage on
We must shed our skin
Let the light in
Before our silver linings sever
We’re tied to heaven forever
It’s just gravity pulling us away
Take that thing called fate and
Mix it with a little faith
Maybe one day you’ll conquer the sky
The secret to life
Is learning to love
All the chaos
