Flightless

I wave my arms around
Like a flightless bird
Don't wanna try so hard
Just to leave the earth
My days are tied in bows
Tethered to the ground
Contend with gravity
The choice to stick around

Everything you say
Is like a funeral
To eulogize yourself
Is so impersonal
I see your figure-eight
I see the public roam
I know the shape of things
Blur when you get close

I leave the party late
And stumble home
The night was everything
I couldn't hold
The trees are whistling
Without their leaves
I make it thru the door
And fall asleep

Everything I say
It isn't personal
Attending to myself
Is like a funeral

My words hang on a branch
The air is hot
It's all just history
Wings tied into a knot
Remain terrestrial
A wordless crowd
Lost between the faces
Leave without a sound
