I see the way you look at me, I'm not like you at all

Float away, fancy free, you're running and hit the wall

All along the river bed, you'll fall down and bump your head

When all at once, a faded light, leads you into endless night

Flown away on waxen wings

Living for the moment

The voices in your head may sing

But you've no way to own it

Consider this when you're alone, winding through your endless guilt

All it is, is cobblestone laid upon your sooty silt

Off again another way, here it comes to save the day

But in the end, it brings you down, you've sunk lower in the ground

Flown away on waxen wings

Living for the moment

The voices in your head may sing

But you've no way to own it

You've found a friend to stand by you, guiding you by the throat

Will it ever end, you need something new, as you're on a sinking boat

You never knew it would end like this, it began as happy bliss

But in your eyes, I see the pain, you're longing for it again

Flown away on waxen wings

Living for the moment

The voices in your head may sing

But you've no way to own it

On waxen wings you will fly

Floating higher in the sky

When you get too close to the sun

Your wings will melt and down you'll come
