TO LIVE IS TO FLY, TO FLY IS TO FALL

He moved through a house

That grew deep in his head

He wandered its hallways

Time twisted and bent

His eyes combed the ceiling

His mind climbed the walls

To live is to fly

To fly is to fall

His pain was like armor

He held strength in his scars

Though the ceiling was black

It held every star

He was a climber of mountains

Perfection made of flaw

To live is to fly

To fly is to fall

He braved the white water

He came up from under

In his darkest hour

He swam toward the shore

He broke through the uncertain

He felt it burst wide open

A new world of freedom

A new world of flaw

It had deep oceans

Pain and love could be spoken

To live is to fly

To fly is to fall.
