"Redbird" lyrics

"Redbird"

Daydream dying
Covered corners, jigsaw mind
Black site
Flood lights
Halls of hornets
My oh my
It's getting weirder
Than I projected
It's saying something
In all directions:
"I held the fear in my mouth
I choked it down and now I'll never let it out"
Breathing water
Blood & iron in my teeth
Safe word
"Redbird"
Nothing's working
My oh my
It's getting weirder
Than I projected
It's saying something
In all directions:
"I held the fear in my mouth
I choked it down and now I'll never let it -"
It's never only the one thing
Always another
Waiting in line
It's never only the one thing
Always another
Creeping behind
(It's getting weirder
Than I projected
It's saying something
In all directions)
I see my daughter
She's ringed in roses
She is a stranger
She doesn't know who I am
I see my father
Nose in the paper
Tapping a pencil
Working the words to his hands
I see my lover
She's singing sweetly
And she forgives me
She knows I am what I am
I see it coming
I see it's here
