Flying so High In a Sea of Lies
Like a fish without water, a bird without a sky
Standing on the shores of deception, wondering why
With my head in the clouds, flying so high
Drowning in reality lie after lie
Now I was smart enough to know a shark is a shark and a snake is a snake
That some people really are nothing more than fake
Despite the warnings, the signs, and the voices that raged
Willingly I flew in, to be locked up and caged
I just wanted so badly to believe in the notes of that song
I wanted to be protected, to be loved and to belong
When friendship and love is the weapon of choice
It's not only the heart but the whole being it destroys
