Voltaire - Feathery Wings lyrics

You, there on the bridge Where've you been, what's your name? And you, there on the wall Where will you go to, once you fall? You, lost at sea Do you need me, do you need directions? Hey, put down the gun What are you thinking? You were someone's son The taste of tears The sting of pain The smell of fear The sounds of crying, oh A long, long time ago, I fell to this place From another dimension And thrust amongst the beasts And the way they behave, it borders on dementia Now through all these years I can barely take it I don't think I can make it Take me away from here I want to go home I'm so sick and tired of The taste of tears The sting of pain The smell of fear The sounds of crying, oh As you're standing at the edge of your life What do you remember? Was it all you wanted? I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings I wish I could protect you here Oh, please don't cry, now, smile As you're standing at the edge of your life Your troubles are over Mine are just beginning I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings To take me away from here It's me you leave behind Oh, if only I could have been there I'd be a hand for the sinking If only I could have been there I'd be a prayer for the dying See the pain etched in my face, Oh, I'm so sick and tired of The taste of tears The sting of pain The smell of fear The sounds of crying, oh As you're standing at the edge of your life What do you remember? Was it all you wanted? I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings I wish I could protect you here Oh, please don't cry, now, smile As you're standing at the edge of your life Your troubles are over Mine are just beginning I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings To take me away from here It's me you leave-- You're gone from here Don't leave from here Don't leave me here I hate it here You're gone from here Don't leave me here I need you here I need to see you smile
