Jackdaw

Stings a bit like a switch
To the back of your knees
Cuts like an axe through a sapling
Count the rings anyway

Crashing through the woods
Ripping off branches
Fashion a mask
Shield our eyes and crawl
Back up each and every time
We fall down, back up
Each and every time we fall

Rings a bit like a fist
To the curve of your jaw
Cuts like lead through a jackdaw
Flap those wings anyway

Gash our knees on the rocks
Into the water flow
As sons and daughters
Mix our blood and crawl
Back up each and every time
We fall down, back up
Each and every time we fall

Rips a bit like a shiv
Through the cracks in your ribs
Cuts like wind through the mist
Twist and pull away

Spill our guts on the grass
Spit it all and we
Nourish the soil
Grab the roots and crawl
Back up each and every time
We fall down, back up
Each and every time
We fall down, back up
Each and every time
We fall down, back up
Each and every time we fall
