Birds of a Feather Lyrics

When I said what I wanted

I felt big enough to leave

Pacing over those steps

Licking the wounds of my enemies

Lock it down, feel my pulse

Leaking every sign of pity mongering

Back to the dark, to that hole

Still feel those piercing eyes on my soul

I come back, on all fours

Craving at the mouth for more

Until that bridge suddenly

Disappears beneath my feet

Button up my fists

Tighten the grip upon my lips

Subtle the sound, fetching forward

Tripping over shadows in the dark

Dry bones animated never walk again

Old skins failing me of innocence

I'm a sideshow trip on a shallow stream

Slipping over my tongue behind a veil of dreams

Speaking slurs of rigid peace

Crawling back on trembling knees

I speak in tongues, I have no words

Force an enigmatic retreat

Top of the bridge, water below

An aberration of my soul

Staring above, at Pleiades

Waiting for the heavens to release

I come back, again and again

With my arms spread wide open

Until that bridge suddenly

Disappears beneath my feet

Button up my fists

Tighten the grip upon my lips

Subtle the sound, fetching forward

Tripping over shadows in the dark

Dry bones animated never walk again

Old skins failing me of innocence

I'm a sideshow trip on a shallow stream

Slipping over my tongue behind a veil of dreams

Sipping up my vanity

Curdling my bones

Savoring my sanity

Why walk the edge so close?

Passing up on choices now

For a silence morose

Birds of a feather flock together

The rest of us wait it out

Button up my fists

Tighten the grip upon my lips

Subtle the sound, fetching forward

Tripping over shadows in the dark

Dry bones animated never walk again

Old skins failing me of innocence

I'm a sideshow trip on a shallow stream

Slipping over my tongue behind a veil of dreams
