lyrics

If only you had seen
that glimmering.
What is this form and why am I deceived,
what to make?

Of this pounding on my face,
wearing down my beak.

If only I should see
absorbed light waves.

Pounding on my face,
reflected into me.
Mechanically repeat,
hammer and reshape.

Heavy depths
now all bent out of shape.
My heavy breath
lungs only gaining weight.

Sun baked
Dark Lake
My own warped face.
Unmake
that mistake?
All too late.
Vibrate
Vertebrae
My wings became weight.
Small break
Won't wake
His wings became weight.
Won't wake
Do not resuscitate
into the Dark Lake.


Guess I knew you'd be free,
I knew you'd go too high.
I knew you'd like what you'd find,
belief.

Please believe, believe me.
Only wanted you to be alright.

Honey, I'm sorry.
Dark glass cast a lyin' light.

Baby, I'm sorry.
That free bird had to die.
