Thieves Achiever Lyrics

As a child they me told I
would never learn to fly
but with some paper and some twine
a set of wings grew from my spine

I climbed my parents tree
and shouted out so proudly
I will learn to fly
You will not talk me down this time

Diving from the tree
I truly do believe
that the clouds and I would meet
but the cuts upon my knees
Disagree

Well I'll climb this ladder with pride
to the top of my home town's water supply.
You can point and laugh all night,
I'll watch your jaws drop while I take to the skies.
Alright

Take Flight Concrete's what ends my consciousness tonight.

Six months in a hospital bed
the doctor said i should be dead
my parents spoke of my tenacity
they said "dear drew,
there's nothing in this life you can't achieve, believe"

Achiever
You know you made me a believer

You can tell me I'll never fly
but I will face defeat before I ever try.

Dive into the street
I truly do believe
that the stars and I will meet,
but the scars upon my knees
Disagree

This is not a defeat
I know I can't always expect to land on my feet.
