lyrics

Im your drab little sparrow
with an unexpected song
a small pretty thing
pecking under your looming display

in silence all day

masters of the bigger things
need all the tiny wings

greater than the highest kings
always speaks, always sings

throw me
into the sky

help me
to never return

stop scattering
just enough seeds

make it so
if I stay I die

your feathers are falling
Im picking the twigs apart
your cold dirty floor
can no longer be where I nest

never your Gest

little birds were stuttering
choking on twisted tongues

any air in every room
rushed to his grander lungs

throw me
into the sky

help me
to never return

stop scattering
just enough seeds

make it so
if I stay I die

clawing through the tangled strings
tossing all the shiny things
tarnished silver, rusty keys
flying from the higher trees

rocketing and shedding flames
burning broken stupid games

pieces washing down the drain
climbing higher through the rain

throw me in
throw me in
throw me in
throw me in

throw me
into the sky

help me to
never return

stop scattering
just enough seeds

make it so
if I stay I die
