Without Wings
words & music by Ryan Hicks

Here comes the committee
Jerkin' you from room to room
Each one has it all figured out
Screaming out of tune
Then you step right into one of them
Wearing their coat and shoes
A familiar fit from head to toe
A different shade of you
But everything begins to get tighter
And the walls of the room are closing in
How much longer will you remain
All tangle and twisted within

When you die to yourself and leave it all behind
When you change direction within a space in time
The shackles that bind you are just an opening
Yes, it is a scary thing to fly
Without wings
Fly without wings
Like falling into floating
Falling into floating

Everything seems to be quiet
They've all gone somewhere else
You're back inside and on the ground
Listening to Now
The people you meet and the things that you do
Are waiting for you in the next room
Careful what you carry
And the mask that you choose
Cuz everything could begin to get tighter
And the walls of the room start closing in
You know you can't stay here much longer
All tangled and twisted within
