Birds - Shannon Wright

Deep beneath the sound of your breath

I lay craving your death

This damp room full of concrete

Lonely i stand

And alone i will leave

There is no reason for your display

Now a dead cloud that’s drawn clean

When all the birds have broken their wings

Oh mercy you

Oh mercy me

And all at once i turned

I follow your hand to our funeral bed

It echoes my name

When sorrow sings

It brings me no chance we’ll ever mend

When all the noise is driven away

There’s my love, now it’s stained

Gallant words

You must refrain

Lonely i stand

And alone i will leave

There is no reason to your display

You’re a fable

Now come clean

When all the birds have broken their wings

Oh mercy you

Oh mercy me

And all at once i turned

I follow your hand to our funeral bed

It echoes my name

When sorrow sings

It brings me no chance we’ll ever mend

Walk, walk walk walk away

Burn, burn burn, burn into flames

Shy, shy, shy, shy away

Over this past

Over this pain

And all at once i turned

I follow your hand to our funeral bed

It echoes my name

When sorrow sings

It sings me no chance we’ll ever mend
