So I walk alone down the dark - est roads
Cause I've al - ways known how the sto - ry goes
When the cur - tain falls, I'll be wear - ing thin
Clawing at the walls as they're clos - ing in
In this twist - ed plot I was des - tined for
I'm an as - tronaut on the o - cean floor
So misun - derstood 'till the bloo - dy end
How I wish I could do it all again
It feels like I'm a lone survivor
Forgotten in a dark and deadly world
And on my own, I walk alone
To see the sun again I'd give anything
But life demands a final chapter
A story that we all must leave behind
It's do or die, and this is mine
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
It's an - other night of the li - ving dead
Like a vi - per bite in a spi - derweb
It's so death - ly dark in the al - leyway
And a blee - ding heart makes you ea - sy prey
I would run and hide for the af - ternoon
With the but - terfly in the pa - nic room
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
For a dif - ferent twist in the sto - ry line
Chorus
(The anthem of a bird with a broken wing)
It feels like I'm a lone survivor
Forgotten in a dark and deadly world
And on my own, I walk alone
To see the sun again I'd give anything
But life demands a final chapter
A story that we all must leave behind
It's do or die, and this is mine
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
Tell the world I know that my mind is made
It's a hard show, but I'm not afraid
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
For a dif - ferent twist in the sto - ry line
