Lyrics

One
We slithered out of your reach
All of us had someone like you to run from
Our wings were clips and our limbs were damaged
But we crawled and picked our way as far out as we could
Two
We lived by the water
Took care of something that made its home deep below the surface
The mother of the depths returned our
Kindness by giving us her flesh to sustain us
She was sick and diseased like we all were
But she kept us alive
Three
Things settled and some of our feathers started to grow back
The different colors of before
Our bones began to heal
At new angles but almost as strong as they used to be
We held each other close at night and
Whispered that things were different now
Things were safe
We had to be reminded nightly
Or else we'd forget
Four
You found us
You came while we were sleeping
You talked with warm familiarity and I threw up at your feet
You asked me what was wrong
Sincere
And I couldn't answer
I wish it was easier to hate you
I wish you were a bad person
But instead I just think that I am for wanting that
Five
We drove you away
Haltingly
I told you I needed more time as if I
Hadn't already decided what you were to me
I wish you knew what you did
But I don't want to tell you
It would be easier if you were something I had
Nightmares about instead of ugly, complicated dreams
I want to flatten you into a villain but
I think that would only turn me into one
Please leave me alone
I'm happy now
I'm happy here
Please don't look for me
I promise I'm okay
Please go
Listen to me
I'm going to speak plainly
I'm not going to say your name
I'm afraid
Because of what I know you won't mention
All those years of horrible tension
I don't think you're a monster
Hardly
I just think that you fucked up
Badly
I could never tell you what you did to me
So I have to settle for this
I hope truly
That you never hear these words that I'm speaking
This is just for me as I'm healing
It's not my fault that my soul is a war
That I don't want to say I love you on the phone anymore
I blame you
But I don't want to hate you
But maybe it's because I'm afraid to
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
There is a memory of when I was young and I admired you so much
I admired you so much
Six
What comes next?
Is there anything after?
Where will we go to now?
Who will we become?
I wonder
I have never wondered before
Everything always changes
But it's always the same
Everything always changes
It flickers like flames
Everything always changes
Dice roll to a different face
Everything always changes
New skin, new face
Everything always changes
But it's different sides of one thing
Everything always changes
In a circle and a ring
