I spread my wings to fly away
on lavender flavored wings
they came to take me away long ago
but I remember the veins had tied me down

Before I lived in a dark place
that was before they came
they wanted me to fly away
on lavender flavored winds

I had turned my back
the darkness had consumed me
but they begged and pleaded
they wanted me to go with them

My resolve melted
but I was stubborn
they went to sail away
on lavender flavored winds

I called out to them
my broken cry their ambrosia
and so away I went
carried by lavender flavored winds
