The day I learn to fly, I'm never coming down
On perfect wings I'll rise through the layers of the clouds
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place, from you
I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that I do
You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place, from you
And I close my eyes as the curtains draw
I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong
'Cause you're not there anymore
No, you're not there anymore
And so I lift my chin and the show goes on
The sky is listening, the stars all sing along
You're not there anymore
I just can't care anymore
On perfect wings I'll rise through the layers of the clouds
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place, from you
I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that I do
You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist
And from there I see the neon grids of cities
And six million people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
But the hours crawled by and no one came
So I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
To take me from this place, from you
And I close my eyes as the curtains draw
I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong
'Cause you're not there anymore
No, you're not there anymore
And so I lift my chin and the show goes on
The sky is listening, the stars all sing along
You're not there anymore
I just can't care anymore

"They're not inside your wrist" The stark simplicity of this line is so powerful. When you know someone who struggles with this kind of habit or addiction, you start off trying to break the habit subtley, but at some point you wanna rip your hair out and scream at them that they wont find the answers to their problems in their wrists or in a pill bottle.
