Dilinger St. Cloud - Thorn Lyrics

Caught somewhere between the end and after
Under the thumb of some curse
I guess I'll never learn the lesson here
I'm a foreigner without a home
I am a rose's thorn
Destined to be just below the beauty

But I'm determined to...
Fly away someday and make a way somehow
My battered, bruised, and broken bones are all I have
I'll find life somewhere among the clouds
Right before I fall back to the ground

Breathless now, breathing defeat
Wanting more, but losing the heat
Shouting out words at the ceiling
I scream
Tired of all the battles I've seen
Wasting my time
Losing the fight
No surrender

I'm determined to...
Fly away someday and make a way somehow
My battered, bruised, and broken bones are all I have
I'll find life somewhere among the clouds
Right before I fall back to the ground

What a time to be alive
Decide that I can survive this fall
Somebody show me the way to the skyline
While I'm fight and winning the battles, I'm losing the war
Gravity grabbing me, holding me down
I will fly

Fly away someday and make a way somehow
My battered, bruised, and broken bones are all I have
I'll find life somewhere among the clouds
Right before I fall

While I'm fight and winning the battles, I'm losing the war
Gravity grabbing me, holding me down
I will decide that I can survive this fall
