Silky Birds

Shadeworks


There's something laying on the ground, I think it's me
But I can't see the blood flowing through my veins
If I was dead on the other side, would I know it?
Believe in nothing but my words now, and say goodbye

Free from life and loneliness, seeking for light
Be my guest, behold the sea waiting for its prey
My body will feed your hunger, search not for time
I was the only mystic thing, your sweetest crime

Now that I'm gone you can draw that smile on your sooty face
I won't be haunting your nights, so don't be afraid
When nighttime touches the Earth, you'll see the silky birds
They are real today, you can touch them before they fly away...

Free from life and loneliness, seeking for light
Be my guest, behold the sea waiting for its prey
My body will feed your hunger, search not for time
I was the only mystic thing, your sweetest crime
