Canary
I thought I knew the wind, I listened in
The smoke and clay, they wore me thin
We're spinning on a syllable
That has the gall to bring the whole world down
We tape it up and wear it out
We let the blood soak through our callous skin
Take all of my lies and try to tie the knots
That I can do without
When I was a bird
I could see where the moon had turned
The sky was alive
And this wire of mine burned
Been lying with these words the whole damn time
When did my tongue begin to slow me?
Let me take my time while keeping pace
We break it down, the right and wrong
The thorns and roots I grew before I knew
Witness all these pretty colors
Learning to behave, this ain't no race
Hear me through this dying day
And hold the words that were not meant for you
When I was a bird
I could see where the moon had turned
The sky was alive
And this wire of mine burned
Been sleeping with the truth the whole damn time
I would kill for a night in the pines
Or a dawn at sea
I would kill for a night in the pines
Or a dawn at sea
I would kill for a night in the pines
Or a dawn at sea
When I was a bird
I could see where the moon had turned
The sky was alive
And this wire of mine burned
Been sleeping next to you the whole damn time
The smoke and clay, they wore me thin
We're spinning on a syllable
That has the gall to bring the whole world down
We tape it up and wear it out
We let the blood soak through our callous skin
Take all of my lies and try to tie the knots
That I can do without
When I was a bird
I could see where the moon had turned
The sky was alive
And this wire of mine burned
Been lying with these words the whole damn time
When did my tongue begin to slow me?
Let me take my time while keeping pace
We break it down, the right and wrong
The thorns and roots I grew before I knew
Witness all these pretty colors
Learning to behave, this ain't no race
Hear me through this dying day
And hold the words that were not meant for you
When I was a bird
I could see where the moon had turned
The sky was alive
And this wire of mine burned
Been sleeping with the truth the whole damn time
I would kill for a night in the pines
Or a dawn at sea
I would kill for a night in the pines
Or a dawn at sea
I would kill for a night in the pines
Or a dawn at sea
When I was a bird
I could see where the moon had turned
The sky was alive
And this wire of mine burned
Been sleeping next to you the whole damn time
