lyrics

Green yard, white picket fence --
These are the tools of governance.
Those willing to abide by
All the tropes in life,
That act as a guide,
To keep you on a rope.
They prey on your dreams,
Prey on your hope.

Come leave this life behind.
(they profit off your time)

You’ve been yearning
To break the wheel.
Despite all your searching,
Nothing yet yields.

Let me make up your mind.
(You can’t see
Your life is a lie)

I won't back down from you.
So come out of hiding.

I won't back down from you.
So come out of hiding.

Sitting on perdition’s ledge,
Forgetting all I’ve been fed.
At last, I'm in control.

New perspective -- deep regret.
Without a purpose, I just exist.
It’s time to take some chances.

My legs remained
rooted,
But this time
I'm not afraid
to fall.

You’ve come out of hiding.
(I struggle to believe in
the merit -- the truth in me
distractions set me free)

Friday comes
And then I'll justify
The reckless acts that make
The time go by.
Fill the hours with complacent crimes.
Bend my will and fill it with lies.

Yeah,
Fill it with lies

Stagnate within the loop,
Or hop the fence and fly the coop.

about

Head with Wings New Haven, Connecticut

Head with Wings are storytellers of sound. Textured, ethereal, and blissfully haunting, the U.S. - based quintet creates boundary-pushing rock songs that straddle the aesthetic line between art music and narrative drama.
