Feathers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know a boy with a sin-sunken face
Smiles and buries his pain under chemical veins
Like a band-aid on top of the bleeding bullet place
I know a boy with a war in his eyes
He can't love me sober, but neither can I
Said he ain't scared of drowning, guess he's
Done that a thousand times, mm
He doesn't know I hear
Him cry

[Chorus]
Teach me to fly
I'm dying, I'm dying to come alive
If I fall from the height
Then maybe the angels and I collide
And they'll sew feathеrs in my spine
They'll teach mе to fly

[Verse 2]
I know a woman who should've known better
Let men rule her body until she was tethered
She was carrying life, had to bid it goodbye
Shame came to get her, mm
Her childhood bedroom catches fire
And now she's burning every night
(She's crying)
[Chorus]
Teach me to fly
I'm dying, I'm dying to come alive
If I fall from the height
Then maybe the angels and I collide
And they'll sew feathers in my spine
They'll teach me to fly

[Bridge]
I’ll untie my mind on my own
I’ll untie my mind on my own
I’ll untie my mind on my own
I’ll untie my mind on my own

I know better than waiting on angels
Said, I know better than waiting on angels
My rusty wings are weak and tired, oh
But they always got me pretty high

[Chorus]
Teach me to fly
I'm dying, I'm dying to come alive
If I fall from the height
Then maybe the angels and I collide
And they'll sew feathers in my spine
Teach me to fly

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
