The Melting Point of Wax

  • I've waited for this moment
    All my life and more
    And now I see so clearly
    What I could not see before.
    The time is now or never
    This chance won't come again
    Throw caution and myself to the wind.

    There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
    But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
    A leap of faith.

    Parody of an angel
    Miles above the sea
    I hear the voice of reason
    Screaming up to me
    "You flew too high, for now your too close to the sun
    Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"

    But how will I know limits from life if I never try?

    There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
    But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
    Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
    Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
    Nothing to me
    Nothing to me

    I will touch the sun or I will die trying.
    Die trying.

    Fly on these secondhand wings
    Willing to find out what impossible means
    Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
    Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me
    Nothing to me
    Means nothing to me
    Miles above the sea. Writer/s: DUSTIN MICHAEL KENSRUE, EDWARD CARRINGTON BRECKENRIDGE, JAMES RILEY BRECKENRIDGE, TEPPEI TERANISHI
