Bird Never Flies

How can I turn away from your gun?

How can I stay here where others would run

And cast the blame

I fan a dying flame

All of my secrets breathe life to my lies

All of my thoughts like the ocean they slide

Along the edge

They linger on the banks

In search of refuge

Darling, don’t cry (I won’t give you up)

Don’t you know why (I won’t give you up)

This bird never flies

There’s night at the end of this heavenless day

There’s night at the end that will show me a way

I tell myself

We may still be saved
