Eulogy - Birdeatsbaby

Now I just see no colour of sunrise in your eyes

Disfigured and pure like the demise of Lucifer

I was cold when you found me outside the wake

With the grief on my tongue like a glass snowflake

Forgot my excitement watching this clock

Now I walk in the fields of my paradise lost

How we fall so far from grace

I used to dream of escaping here

I would pack all my bags and make big plans to disappear

But now that I’m grown I just sink like a stone

Through the comfort of gravity

Now I’ll drink off this bottle as it drains off of me

If my heart is the thunder my tears are the sea

That will drag me right under

Ten thousand feet to this wasteland of silence

How we fall so far from grace

And I say… God don’t be kind to me

Take back your liberty

Hang my freedom from this precipice

Just in front of me

Take back your Midas touch

Lord, it won’t matter much

If you cast me out I’ll just crawl away

It’s my prophecy
