umbra hostica Lyrics

A wise man once said the early bird catches the worm

But I was born with shattered wings

That wise man just said find a hole that's soft and warm

And bury yourself along your belongings

And bury yourself along your belongings

But I never owned anything

I'm not home inside of my own skin

A stranger's shadow has wrapped itself around me

But I never owned anything

I'm not even home inside of my own skin

I'm that stranger's shadow that cannot be outrun

And when i'm hurt it could hurt anyone

An old legend says all traditions getting lost

We gotta find another anchor point

I can't but abide by the rules – however much it cost

But assume that I could - then what's the point?

And my hands are too shy, and my eyes are too clean

To mull over whatever could have been

A stranger's shadow hides the world away from me

And my feet are so high, and my head is so wide

That a thousand imps remain concealed inside

I'm that stranger's shadow that cannot be outrun

And when I'm hurt it could hurt anyone

And when I'm hurt it could hurt anyone

But I never owned anything

I'm not even home inside of my own skin

I'm that stranger's shadow that cannot be outrun

And when I'm hurt it could hurt anyone

And when I'm hurt it could hurt anyone

And when I'm hurt it could hurt anyone

A wise man once said the early bird catches the worm

But I was born with shattered wings
