You mixed the chemicals
The air use to smell like dust
Ripped soul got to fly out
Butterflies can't even try now
There's a window up ahead
But I hop
Wishing I could fly instead
Inside your pocket lies my medicine
But you say I've done a greater sin
Keeping me close 'til I can't breathe
Smoke and ash suffocating me
You've got the respirator
You've got the plans
I'll be burned up
Before the fire gets started
And oh, darling
I'm falling while my wings change color
Bleaching out one another
From black to white to blue
I keep my head up and think of you
The old version, memories so bittersweet
You use to hold tight and whisper to me
Anything my heart desired, you'd get it for me
But now you're my jailor
I want to be set free
My feet are bleeding
My wings are broken
My face is cracking
My heart is melting
You get so strong
As I grow weak
Everyday, down on my knees
If you're ever through, with me
I won't ever stop
Bleeding
My life's a broken lung
Half a heart,
It's only just begun.
I sit at the edge of the light
My feathers molting
I'd rather die
And you lie
But you won't cry
And my pain's locked up in the freezer
You give me honey
But your such a teaser
Bitter everything on my tongue
It's only just begun.
I sit at the edge of the light
My feathers molting
Maybe I'll slip away tonight
