Hope Lyrics - Singles - Chris Sesar

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.
