The Boy With The Beak |
I’m not a soldier |
You wear a soldier’s hat |
I’m not a singer |
Oh, well we both know that |
But how the sunrise speaks notes in my… |
I’ll shut the shutters |
Oh mother, let them see |
Their tongues are sharpened |
Their words will wash from me |
But how their chorus cuts holes in my skin |
Before I closed my eyes |
I felt the fingers fall in feathers in these cheeks |
My blue eyes burst with joy |
I’m not a soldier |
You wear a soldier’s hat |
I’m not a swallow |
Oh so now don’t say that |
But how my voice waters flowers in your |
You look so wondrous |
As your mind walks to sleep |
I’ll never leave you |
No, you will not leave me |
But how the door to this cage opens up |
Before I wished for flight and closed my eyes |
I felt the feathers down my spine |
I rushed to draw the blinds |
Oh, how we fought |
These winds guide you onto the war |
To these islands deep in your thoughts |
This nest smells like… |
In the black garden growing withered |
And the rain puddled into his lungs |
The boy with the beak stood up |
Before I closed my eyes I watched him sing and dance |
His feathers on my feet |
And kisses in my sleep |
Oh, how we fought |
These winds guide you far from the war |
To these islands deep in your thoughts |
This nest smells like home |
Oh boy, oh boy |
Where did you get lost to? |
Looking down on the city we built you up in |
To the road cutting lines in the hills |
And the Earth turns away from us still |
We tried, we tried |
But we couldn’t find you |
While you slept through the forest in the arms of the trees |
With your brother’s ghost haunting your dreams |
And you filled all your footprints with leaves |
Our minds grow darker still, you know |
I can lose your memory only so slowly |
