Let me out,
Don't tell me everything,
Start it out,
Like any other day.
Must have gave the wrong impression,
Don't you understand where I belong?
I'm not the one.
Stand again,
Say nothing comes for free,
And that's the truth,
Been livin' in a fantasy,
Slip and slide a head-trip heaven,
Self-denial’s such a wonderful and powerful thing,
I'm not the one.
The morning dove sings with two broken wings,
Carry me home, I'm not afraid,
The stars in my eyes were shimmerin' lights,
Carry me home, don't let me fade away.
Stop the press the kids light is growin' dim,
It took a month long slide and the world came cavin' in,
When you self-destruct,
wind up looking for a glimmer of hope,
But the writing's on the wall,
I'm not the one.
The morning dove sings with two broken wings,
Carry me home, I'm not afraid,
The stars in my eyes were shimmerin' lights,
Carry me home, don't let me fade away.
Just how thick is your skin?
Just how sharp are your teeth?
Oh, you've got a lot to learn,
Is there somewhere else that I can win?
Is there something else to start over again?
From the summit's edge to the cutting room floor,
I will be afraid no more.
The morning dove sings with two broken wings,
Carry me home, I'm not afraid,
The stars in my eyes with shimmering lights,
Carry me home, don't let me fade,
Carry me home, carry me.
