[English]

With angry wings, I flew out of that town

Promised you I'd never turn around

Cocaine buzz and a caffeine high

Open all the windows under midnight skies

With angry wings, I flew out of that town

Chasing down a dream

Like a shadow in the breeze

From a thousand miles away

Wish you were right in front of me

Man, I really messed up now

Too afraid to say it out loud

I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be

I'm still tryna figure it out

Man, I really messed up now

Clipped those wings and I came back home

Tried my best just to carry on

Stick and poke tattoos meant nothing to me

As far as east to west and not a memory (mm)

Man, I really messed up now

Too afraid to say it out loud

I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be

I'm still tryna figure it out

Am I too proud to say it out loud?

...

Chasing down a dream

Like a shadow in the breeze

From a thousand miles away

Wish you were still in front of me

I don't wanna mess up now

Too afraid to say it out loud

I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be

I'm still tryna figure it out

Man, I really messed up now

...
