I draw the wings of birds in flight
Sketching dreams beneath the night
A canvas full, yet never done
So many starts, I finish none
They call me brilliant, say I'm wise
But all they see are half-tried skies
I chase the stars, then look away
A spark that burns, but won’t stay
Halfway genius, drifting soul
Master of none, but I still go
Blueprints faded in my mind
A restless heart, I can't confine
Tried to write it down, hold the line
But something pulls me every time
I built the skies, I mapped the seas
My hands were fast, but not at peace
A thousand thoughts I couldn't tame
Each one calling out my name
No masterpiece could hold me tight
No final stroke ever felt right
I carved the world, then let it be
Afraid of who I'd have to be
Halfway genius, drifting soul
Master of none, but I still go
Blueprints faded in my mind
A restless heart, I can't confine
Tried to write it down, hold the line
But something pulls me every time
Maybe greatness isn’t whole
Maybe brilliance loses control
I tried to stay, I left too soon
A legacy under a half-done moon
Halfway genius, still I shine
In broken dreams, I leave a sign
Though I fall and start again
There’s beauty in what might have been
Tried to write it down, hold the line
And maybe that was by design
