[INTRO] Wake up. The sky is wrong. The streets are gray. Every window wears the same face. So run. Run until the signal breaks. [VERSE 1] Concrete teeth. Paper sun. Another day already done. Same white walls. Same dead eyes. Same old ending in disguise. I hear a voice beneath the noise, a little pulse I can't destroy. It says— There has to be something past this place. [PRE-CHORUS] If the whole world wants me colorless, I'll bleed neon through the cracks. If every road keeps folding inward— I won't come back. I WON'T COME BACK. [CHORUS] FLY, BIRD, FLY. AS FAR AS YOUR WINGS CAN TAKE YOU. BREAK THROUGH THE CLOUDS. OUTRUN THE STATIC. LEAVE THIS DEAD WORLD BEHIND. FLY, BIRD, FLY. DON'T LET THE GRAY RECLAIM YOU. CHASE ANY LIGHT. CHASE ANY COLOR. JUST DON'T LET THEM CLIP YOUR WINGS TONIGHT. [POST-CHORUS] GO! Past the skyline. Past the signs. Past every voice that said this life was mine. GO! Until the black and white falls out of sight. [VERSE 2] Red lights blink. Engines scream. I swear I saw blue in a dream. Maybe green. Maybe gold. Maybe somewhere I don't feel old. Every mile becomes a spark. Every spark becomes a star. I don't care where this ends— Just get me far. [BREAKDOWN] CUT THE WIRES. KILL THE FEED. I DON'T NEED WHAT THEY TOLD ME I NEED. TEAR THE MAP. MISS THE EXIT. LET THE WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM LOSE MY SIGNAL. NO GPS. NO RETURN. LET THE BRIDGES FUCKING BURN. [BUILD] One wing broken. Still enough. One heart shaking. Still enough. One small color in a world gone numb— STILL. ENOUGH. TO. RUN. [CHORUS] FLY, BIRD, FLY. AS FAR AS YOUR WINGS CAN TAKE YOU. BREAK THROUGH THE CLOUDS. OUTRUN THE STATIC. LEAVE THIS DEAD WORLD BEHIND. FLY, BIRD, FLY. DON'T LET THE GRAY RECLAIM YOU. CHASE ANY LIGHT. CHASE ANY COLOR. JUST DON'T LET THEM CLIP YOUR WINGS TONIGHT. [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME / CLEAN VOCAL] Maybe there's no promised land. Maybe there's no perfect sky. Maybe freedom is just choosing what you're willing to leave behind. So if I disappear tomorrow, don't call it running away. I finally saw a little color— and I followed it until I changed. [FINAL BUILD] Blue. Red. Gold. Green. Colors I forgot I'd seen. LOUDER. FASTER. HIGHER. FREE. [FINAL CHORUS] FLY, BIRD, FLY. AS FAR AS YOUR WINGS CAN TAKE YOU. OVER THE WALLS. OVER THE WIRES. OVER EVERY END THEY WROTE. FLY, BIRD, FLY. THERE'S COLOR PAST THE HORIZON. CHASE IT UNTIL YOUR LUNGS GIVE OUT. CHASE IT UNTIL THE WHOLE SKY OPENS. AND IF YOUR WINGS GIVE OUT— FALL FORWARD. FALL FORWARD. FALL FORWARD. BUT NEVER BACK DOWN. [OUTRO] The city disappears behind me. For the first time— the sky looks blue.
