"¨I gifted you the sparrow's wings"¨
And tail-feathers from that tiny body"¨
Still warm with newly misplaced life
"¨Limb from limb I cut with the kitchen knife
"¨"¨I gifted you the sparrow's wings
"¨And tail-feathers from that tiny body"¨
Still warm with newly misplaced life
"¨Limb from limb I cut with the kitchen knife"¨"¨
Trying to fit into you, trying to fit in
"¨Trying to fit into you, trying to fit in
Trying to fit into you, trying to fit in
"¨Trying to fit into you, the offering at your bed-foot
"¨"¨I woke that night from dreams of wingless pecking at my window"¨
I'm here and I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly
"¨I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly
"¨I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly"¨
I can't fly, it's me, I've come home, let me in
"¨"¨Trying to fit in"¨Trying to fit into you, trying to fit in"¨
Trying to fit into you, trying to fit in
"¨You were painting layers of space and I gifted you nothing but trouble"¨"¨
I gifted you the sparrow's wings
"¨I gave you the songbird that no longer sings
"¨And we took each meaning from this life
"¨Limb from limb we tore through the fading light
"¨"¨I was trying to fit into you, you were trying to fit in
"¨I was trying to fit into you, you were trying to fit in
"¨I was trying to fit into you, you were trying to fit in
"¨I was trying to fit into you, you were trying to fit in, and now
"¨I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly, I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly"¨
I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly, I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly"¨
I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly, I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly
"¨I can't fly I can't fly I can't fly"¨I can't fly, it's me, I've come home, let me in
