Given to Fly / Immortality Lyrics

Given to fly

He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh

He's.. flying
Whole
High.. wide, oh

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw
everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, f******
He still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it
away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

Immortality

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me
or her
cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up,
volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
but there's a trapdoor in the
sun...immortality...
as privileged as a w****...victims in demand for
public show
swept out through the cracks beneath the door
holier than thou, how?
surrendered...executed anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on
too...
he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
immortality...
i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the
dark...
coming up a which way sign...all good truants
must decide...
oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
and whiskers in the sink...
truants move on...cannot stay long
some die just to live...
ohh...
