Little Bird

Ever find you're falling?
Ever hear the graveyard calling?
Ever think you've severed your wings?
In the mirror there's a dying thing?
With both hands you mold
A fragile future you hold
You can embrace and love it
Or squeeze the life out of it

Are you alone?
Little bird, I'll take you home
Mend your wings
(Mend your wings)
Keep you warm
You'll be safe here from the storm
Take my hand
The first step is yours
Save yourself
Save yourself

Not every inch is healed
Barely any stitch is sealed
Yeah, life can be a slow dissection
I'm in love with your resurrection
With sparser relapses
A false wall collapses
Just remember to breathe
Don't forget to believe

Are you alone?
But little bird, you are home
Your strength's returned
(Mended wings)
Your wings are healed
Love's not a cold cage, it's an open field
Fine, fly from here
Yeah, don't come back
Save yourself
Save yourself

Can you hear me now?
Maybe if we play it soft and I say it loud
Life's for grasping all that's good
For holding tight to what you feel you should
Do you await a hollow death?
When memories flood with your final breath
Will they be filled with shallow men and meth?
And every part of you, you abused til there was nothing left?
Or will they be filled with hope and strength?
And belief-in-self and inner trust and peace?
Honest love and true friends?
And the calm that only comes when all your downward spirals cease?

Save yourself
Save yourself
Save yourself
