about

I can't quite recall what spawned this song, but I remember it was written in my parents' basement, sometime around 2006.

Wings (music video)
filmed in Yecheon, South Korea: youtu.be/R8alpH2Yh_Q

lyrics

WINGS
Everybody's growing wings and flying away
They are leaving, but I'll remain
I will sing this sad song soft and slow
To bring you down before you go
Old friends become ghosts
When you cannot love yourself
And you'll find you starve when you try too hard
To love someone else

Will I ever be happy?
Why should I try if I am just waiting around to die?
There's no reason for a man to carry on
When the one he loves has left and gone
Old friends become ghosts
When you cannot love yourself
And you'll find you starve when you try too hard
To love someone else

Everybody's growing wings and flying away
They are leaving, but I'll remain
