Cormorants Lyrics

Today I woke up to fly back and deliver the news

The ink in my pen was as dry as my eyes

After weeks of trying to choose

Cormorants

Cormorants flew by the riverside

Weeknights

Weeknights you'd tell me

There's nothing more important than speaking your mind

I caught a bug when I traveled abroad to Batu

A night of hard drinking then I met a man

And I let myself forget about you

Lover

Feelings that float like the birds in disguise

Siblings

You introduced me, told me they liked how I fluttered my eyes

I kept a record of the times that I wrote back to you

All of the letters you wrote out to me

Vastly outnumbered my few

Wildfire

Wildfire that spreads as the conflict grows

Armor

Was I the shield or the sword when I told you that I had to go

I watched the sun rising up as we flew through Japan

I couldn't sleep there at all from anxiety

Was it my heart or my hand

Needles

Needles of pine lay like bones on the ground

Rainfall

I can't forget what you meant when you told me

That you'd be around
