Nepenthe - Aquila Lyrics

I always notice you soaring above me
Drifting beyond the clouds broad and eclipsing
An elegant bird of prey, you glide easily
And I'm still struggling to control my wings

Why? Why can't I fly? Why can't I fly?
Why cant I fly with you?
Why? Why can't I fly? Why can't I fly?
Why cant I fly with you?

Late at night I dream of how great it'd feel
To rise and soar with you over the lakes and fields
But each time I spread my wings to leap
My courage flees and leaves them trembling

Why? Why can't I fly? Why can't I fly?
Why cant I fly with you?
Why? Why can't I fly? Why can't I fly?
Why cant I fly with you?
Why? Why can't I fly? Why can't I fly?
Why cant I fly with you?
Why? Why can't I fly? Why can't I fly?
Why cant I fly with you?

Deep within I know that the tethers only exist in my mind
And if they were severed I could rival those that Ptolemy defined
But still I linger watching days as they fold into nights
I stay up always asking myself why?

Why can't I fly?
Why can't I fly?
Why can't I fly?
