Birds

from The culprits we are by Eris Flies Tonight

lyrics

unconsciously we paint the skys
there are no bolder and braver minds
moment by moment
thought by thought
we’re taking our truths apart

when i close my eyes
there’s no need for lies
i can see what was breaking me
it’s in the air we breathe

though you hold my hand
there’s no way that we can
stand all that we could be
this skin is hardly me

did you ever feel complete?
do you wonder in your sleep?
when you can’t run as fast
or scream as loud
this is what my dreams are about

i’ve seen this before
all the things that i
adore are haunting me
it’s in the air we breathe

in my darkest dreams
you’re not well it seems
stay by my side
eris flies tonight

all that you said
rings in my head
word by word

withered and left alone
this all feels so heartless

the child always asks
what makes a man a man of steel

the old woman frowns;
don’t worry ’bout foolish dreams

now hold me tight
my heart needs to sing

while the birds sing above my head
i listen to myself instead
please sober me up
you’re all around
