Input ft Nikkiya - Spirits Fly video free download

Good morning, April 20th in this here year of '99

I'm alive and well at fourteen minding my own place in line

So here I go, walking into my daily institution

With a lot on my plate for a fairly normal teen that's feeling foolish

Had a hard time going into public school for what it's worth

Unnoticed most of days distinguished by my place of birth

I'm a denver native, but I grew up in that catholic church

With a uniform on and a suit of broken armor for a shirt

These kids were different here, they made you feel like an alien

But I went on my own, and I took what I know

To a place that appeared to be safe for me

To change that frame of thought wasn't hard to do to a kid like me

11:19 was burnt in my memory now it's time to go

We stood right up and got prepared and we formed a single line

As I made my way on out, I looked right back just to check the time

With one foot down in the hallway, I was thinking that class was done

And that's when I heard those screams

There's kids with guns

[Hook]

Bombs come down, bullets fly

Could this be, Will I die?

I heard he asked her, do you believe in god?

She said yes, then she was gone

Screaming out, I hear the cries

Bombs come down, spirits fly

Out the fire, the aftermath It changed this boy into a man

Do you really know what it's like To feel a pipebomb under your feet?

Those marble tables slid across the room Like they sat on wheels

In a frantic state, I was all too young Just to grasp this moment

It became a reality then

And I thought that my life was over

And I laid on the floor in the corner

Just in case they wandered by

At the angle that we had bundled up

We couldn't see their eyes

And there came that second that we couldn't move

Cause they stood outside

And I taught myself to stop breathing

Like it was time to die

Pop, was my first impression

Pop, was the second intention

Pop, pop, pop, pop, throw another in for good measure

It didn't even make much sense to be inside of a horror film

At the end of this awful day, we were all just kids

That look of fear on faces would make a growing angel cry

And there's no hope for us, it's time to depart from life

And if I don't blink again, I'm leaving in pain and suffering

So tell my family I love em, just tell my family I love em

Now it's hour four, still confined to a box collapsing

My lungs could relate to that feeling

I could feel the whole room gasping

And the SWAT team came in and that door broke in

Like a pipebomb just exploded

And they looked in my eyes and they patted me down

And they simply said GO

Running like I never ran stuck inside a maze

They looked like superheroes

But their guns said different

Nothing came across my mind except

The fact that I need to get the fuck out of this here building

Every corner was a heart drop blind spot

Never more could I exist with gunshots self

And the memory will make me remember

How that day turned a kid into a man that's fine now

When the lights came on,

And that door swung open

I cried cause I knew that I left my fourteen year old self on that floor

As I stand here now, I have my story to tell

And I thank you all for joining me in this journey through hell

This is for my city, my state, my life at Columbine

I'm not gonna be that humble, nobody's got this heart like mine

And I made this life from a tile floor in a science class

And I'm proud of the person I am today

And you can't fire back

[Hook]

Bombs come down, bullets fly

Could this be, will I die?

I heard he asked her, do you believe in god?

She said yes, then she was gone

Screaming out, I hear the cries

Bombs come down, spirits fly

Out the fire, the aftermath

It changed this boy into a man

- Thank You
