lyrics

I'll kiss the sky as your kiss goodbye
'Cause you choose not to stand by my side
You can hide in this hole that is your grave
But I won't let this pile of dirt push over me

Set a course, set course for the sun
I'll spread these wings and I'll fly away
Like a phoenix I'll burst into flames
Born again, I will breathe
I've traded in my oxygen for these dreams
Now yesterday is a lifetime away

You ask me why with hollow eyes
'Cause the ocean has swallowed everything I have ever loved, been washed ashore and returned an empty shell of its former self

Set a course, set course for the sun
I'll spread these wings and I'll fly away
Like a phoenix I'll burst into flames
Born again, I will breathe
I've traded in my oxygen for these dreams
Now yesterday is a lifetime away

I'll travel far and map these stars
I'll make a chart of the darkness
I'll travel far and map these stars
I can't be stopped if I never rest

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

These forces fighting me, every inch I move away
I can feel your gravity, pulling down, holding back on me

But I will defy forces natural
You won't persuade the doubt in me
I will follow my own metronome
There's no true path to destiny
