lyrics

Wounded bird, what have you heard?
From sublime to absurd
You were flying so high
You were trying to keep
The tears from your eyes
Then you fell
And somehow missed the earth

And landed in hell
Where shadows are real as all that you feel
And ghosts speak the truth of your past, of your youth
And the buzz in your ear is a shot full of fear
And the devil's open hand is that of your best friend

Beautiful loon, I've seen your plume
Jeweled feathers catching light of the moon
And I've heard the call of your tune
Thread bright through the gloom
And I've woven colours through the heart of your loom
Now our fates are tied
So please don't give in to your pride

Don't hide all your love
And cloud your view from above
Don't use your gift and your art to serve a dark and angry heart
Mistrusting the light because it's subtle and slight
Oh, what could I sing to help mend this broken wing?
