I walked the streets without regret
I stood alone and watched myself fall apart
Answered the voices in my head
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall

Back down again

Bought everything that sounded good
I understand that I've been misunderstood
When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall

Until we fall, until we fall
Back down again

Yeah, back down again

What do you feel before you think
What do you see before you blink
Who do you battle in your dreams
Who strokes your feathers until you scream

And when I'm tired and I'm feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall

Until we fall, until we fall
Back down again

Yeah, back down again
