I Fly Away

I’m standing on the spot 
where your tears fell to the ground 
comprehension never comes 
and memories never fade 

the echo of your cry 
still rattles in my head 
innocence will never 
make us bullet proof 

So I fly away 
I fly away 
I fly away 

the story of the times 
a dissertation on fear 
but acceptance is surrender 
to those who feed on hate 

I still feel the pain 
pulsing through your side 
and the blood that stained my hands 
tattoos me as helpless 

so I fly away…/ 'cause I’m so helpless 
‘cause I’m so helpless… / I fly away 
I fly away…/ 'cause I’m so helpless 
‘cause I’m so helpless… / I fly away 
I fly away
