I thought I knew the wind I listened in This smoke and clay they wore me thin We’re spinning on a syllable that has the goal to bring the whole world down
We tape it up and wear it out We let the blood soak through our calloused skin Take all of my lies and try to tie the knots that I can’t do without
When I was a bird I could see where the moon had turned The sky was alive and this wire of mine burned And lying with these words the whole damn time
When did my tongue begin to slow me Let me take my time while keeping pace We break it down, the right and wrong, the thorns and roots are grew before I knew you
Witness all these pretty colors learning to be Hey, this ain’t no race Hear me through this dying day and all the words that were not meant for you
When I was a bird I could see where the moon had turned The sky was alive and this wire of mine burned And sleeping with the truth the whole damn time
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
When I was a bird I could see where the moon had turned The sky was alive and this wire of mine burned And sleeping next to you the whole damn time
