What lies beyond the door? Sights that I have seen before Urges I've been searching for Can't reach them anymore And birds outside my window Shards of childhood memories Through the window on the wall I look down, afraid to fall The shadow lays there tall Scared I'll lose my soul And birds outside my window Shards of childhood memories Though I still wait for gravity to stop and set me free I remember my mother's tears as she wept upon my bed My child, she said to me, trouble lies ahead Now that voice starts to dissipate, so hard to recognize A silhouette of what once was dims before my weary eyes And a voice calls to me from inside Must I live this miserable life? Mockingbird sings my lullaby and then flies to another land Leaving me with teardrops and feathers in my hand I see the sun and the ocean far away and shining bright And make them a promise that someday I will take my flight And a voice calls to me from inside Must I live this miserable life? Who's that tapping on my door? Just a shadow on the floor Where are you? I implore Can't sense my soul no more And birds outside my window Shards of fading memories Yet I still wait for gravity to stop and set me free
