lyrics

Bounding down the stairs
With my monoculars
Excitedly peering, extending our eyes
We want to see
We want to be
Up close with the bird sanctuary.
And holding in my hands
Some old borrowed eyes
And goofing along
Like being embraced
My honest friend.
I had almost forgot
Feeling fruitless at the harvest
And looking at a barren winter.
How we must always grow our future
Thinking about what more we could lose here
Attending too many goodbye parties.
And he said yes
When the red breasted bird
Perched in his hand
Yes cause this is why
Yes this is what for
It's beauty and the real.
Interviewing feathered friends
About the very latest trend
Of standing up only one legged
I didn't forget
So much as was reminded
Other things exist.
You can't capitalize on freedom
I'm trying to filter it all down
Understand my feet on the ground
How can I care, and still be free?
And he said yes
When the red breasted bird
Perched in his hand
Yes cause this is why
Yes this is what for
It's beauty and the real.
We exist
Not only for ourselves
Yes, because not no
Yes, cause we want things
That will not destroy us.
When we returned home
We slept in the memory of sun.
Dreams flapped their wings
Inside my skull.
