The Nest Lyrics

I was told to live

A simple lie

Not knowing if

We're living on borrowed time

To draw blood from a stone

And drag the word

Not knowing if

They fall in in line

You were told to live

With unopened arms

Had the nest become

A ghostly deserted place

Had the stork gone out

And forgave the pain

Not knowing yourself

Not knowing your place

We were told to live

We were told to live

To wonder why

The moon punctuates the earth

So I read the book

But It didn't fit

I found god too intrusive

And quick to turn on the rain

You were meant to live

Today

You were meant to live
