lyrics

I sent a message out today
Said I was done with breathing fire on a world that’s been so good to me
What kind of man to think I’d be
If just a worm still underground still digging dirt to hide away
Dig me out and put me in your fingers
Clean me up throw me in the waters
Make sure I make good points right now
Climb up to catch a little sunlight
Hide out in flowers after midnight
But you’d BETTER have me home before I fall asleep in your arms

Am I the bird I thought I’d be
With only oil and dirt under the wings that used to carry me
More of a monster I BELIEVE
With Bloody Horns upon my head and weathered hoofs I scare quite easily
Hey Kid try a little danger
Hey kid what’s with all the anger
You aint seen nothing til you’re down among the weeds again
It’s cold out so hide under a new coat
Look back to lines you used to misquote
Bow down and save yourself before I fall asleep in your arms

Another early morning sun
It awoke me and I choked upon the words I had been singing
Seems I’m a dying airplane
Full of fevered souls who lost control and lost themselves again
Dig me out and put me in your fingers
Clean me up throw me in the waters
Make sure I make good points again
Take me and tear me down slowly
Touch me and tell me that I’m lowly
You’d better let me be before I fall asleep in your arms
