Chris Sesar - Hope lyrics

What is this thing with its leaden wings that perches on my soul how can you stand the pain it brings not make it vanish once and for all 'cause I should have known better I've known all along this ain't right but this thing with its leaden wings is still trying to take flight and it whispers a tune without any words and never stops at all tries to lift me to a higher place to prepare me for a longer and harder fall 'cause I should have known better I've known all along this ain't right but this thing with its leaden wings is still trying to take flight if we could take off, then I'd be over the moon but I guess I'll bear the weight...until we break tell me what is this thing with its leaden wings and its talons in my soul how can you stand the pain it brings and not make it vanish once and for all 'cause we should have known we should have known better we've known all along this ain't right but this thing with its leaden wings is still trying to take flight.
