Heart and the Wings Lyrics

They've got you in high definition

Your dancing and singing coming to fruition

You said, "strike me down, I've sinned again,"

But you should've known better than to pretend

And the shadow you cast on the wall

Won't break you from your fall

From grace down to the consequences

Will you have enough time to gather your defenses?

You're not sorry that it happened

You're just sorry you were caught

But by now your heart has blackened

And your wings have been torched

Did you figure out what the problem is?

Is it you or those million other things?

That prove this isn't who you really are

You say, heading back into the bar

For the same sour shot you always have

Right before swearing to be a better man

And your alibi becomes your favourite part

Cooking up a story of your sacred heart

You're not sorry that it happened

You're just sorry you were caught

But by now your heart has blackened

And your wings have been torched

What good came of your sneaking around?

As the heart and the wings make an unsettling sound

You approach another blissful victim

And before you know it you've gone and tricked them

As the heart and the wings swoop down again

You'll deny it and deny it until the end

You're not sorry that it happened

You're just sorry you were caught

But by now your heart has blackened

And your wings have been torched

Yeah
