lyrics

Return little bird,
Lay your head upon my cheek,
I can hear you, I can feel you,
Your skin is touching ash.

Are you the first to break down the door?
You won't be the last inside these walls,
“Dear lover,” she wrote in her palm,
“I want it real, it's hard to explain.”

She wanted her diamonds encrusted with gold,
And all of her memories carved into stone.
I've been here before and I'll be here again,
I'm not your lovebird, you're my best friend.

Oh and the last time was fall,
Held a hand - took some more,
Walked down a line where crows come to feast
Where women in sundresses leisurely read.

And if this the last, the last time at all,
I wouldn't trade a rock for a star,
And I swear by Christ, I can't be this cruel,
I want to be naked, I want to be yours.

And then pirouettes have replaced every star,
Dance through a daydream, and bleed through the sun.
I have been here before, it's the place that I fear,
When I said I loved you, I meant it dear.


As years ripped at his skin,
He thought of it and swung on a swing,
Recalling each answer he innocently claimed,
On the leaves left a place..
So ingrained in his mind,
The sunshine was there and it will stay in that time,
In spending each moment he conveniently placed
Each old fear tore deeper than he once could retain.
He drowned in a bathtub he had made.

Changes he never maintained,
Leaks he never quite fixed,
All get lost in an ego and useless bullshit
It created a new man, in his same rags,

Adopted some habits he couldn't grasp.
