Hiding in the shadows A misfit, a mimic We all want to be special Created for something specific Pre-Life is so hard when you're feeling alone Wondering where all the music has gone Don't want to feel like a cheap imitation Want to to believe I'm a lovely creation I am a mocking bird whose song has not been heard My wings are clipped and burned Can my fate ever be turned Been living in a dream, but now it's time to leave These wings have come unfurled 'Cause I'm your mocking bird, bird Every note is stolen The ballad of someone else All of me is frozen Forgotten on a shelf The fear has held me for too long And now I'm taking off (now I'm taking time) A brand new song for us to hum into the dead of night I'll never go back again We will never go back again I'm your mocking bird, whose song has now been heard No longer clipped and burned 'Cause my fate has now been turned Living in a dream, a new reality These wings have come unfurled 'Cause I'm your mocking bird
