eye alaska wrote a song called "i knew you'd never fly"

half of you is soaring. i can hear it.
but your other half is an anchor.
your sails are made of paper. they're tearing apart.
look up. sunlight is waiting for you to greet it.

you live on complete calm.
steady and sleeping. fearless and blind.
the origami tigers on your wall can only look so alive.
look up. darkness is waiting for you to find it.

all the sad, sorry words in the world can't give you redemption.
if you set yourself on fire, would you even notice?
burn bright. stay with me.
feel your heart beating. feel the fever that stirs you to sing.

i'm flying. you're dreaming.
please, help me out.
