Once I was a bird
On your shoulder I could rest
Looking through your telescope
The sun had risen in the west
I have risen too
You have crafted me anew
You've sewn me a new pair of lungs
Have I honored you???????
I will fly above the world
Beyond your cloudy skies
And when the ground is shattering
You will hear my lonely cries
I’ll bury you with what you’ve made
In our windmill you can rest
Should I finish what you left
Was it meant for me?????
Have I honored you?
In my lonely palace I sit above your town
I meant to give them flight but then the people began to drown
So now Ill leave them to themselves
Without their bonds to the sky
They’ll do what I told them everyday
And they won’t question why
Their heads are full of fish and corn
And their ears are full of salt
They can hear the ocean through their noses
They don’t know that it’s my fault
Now they live everyday in a different mind
I only meant to do you good, how was I so blind??........:"((((??:((((((??(?((:(((:(::(:(:(:(:(:

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
This song ticks all the boxes for me. Guitar sounds, vocals, song structure. I can't put my finger on any one factor, it all works together to make a really great song. malfunction54
