Blackbird, you are worth more than to be hidden there
The night is gone and you are still dreaming
Blackbird, you may be broken but you're still alive
Don't wait for daylight to revive your senses
At night I am chaos
Wings without bodies fluttering around with no place to land
And these letters the only bones to hold them together
Or else I would fall to pieces
Collapsing in the darkness
My muse fighting with my dreams and winning
And a subtle voice wondering when...
When will I see them again?
At home I am madness
Particles of dust scattered in all directions
Overlapping undercurrents
Waves snapping
Tensions bursting
Lands collapsing
Infinite meadows so, so thirsty
Reaching out with millions of tentacles
And grasping nothing
Just brushing past the imaginary letters
And drowning out the soft, dreamy voices
Broken and fading
Until the darkness is gone
And the sun has risen
And there is nothing to be done
Now the letters come
Asking if I've lost or if I've won
You may be a falling star
Beautiful and bright yet so, so far
See the love you've caged within your own soul
Let it out, and feed your bones
Light it up
Light it up
Light it up
Light it up
But the muse is silent
The dream's asleep
And the only thing left is a hazy meadow
Screaming "Feed your bones"
So, so hungry
And a subtle voice wondering how...
How am I going to make it to the other side?
Shake it up, shake it up
Keep rattling the cages
And wake it up, wake it up
Mermaids in the sky
Oh, raise it up! Raise it up!
See the clouds around us
We're shaking our bones now
Taking back our thrones
In the stratospheric zone
Melody, you are not alone
Oh, Blackbird
Don't be afraid to break out of your cell (spell)
