"I Saw Another Bird" lyrics
So what, I saw another raven?
I actually see them all the time
And I hear their voices talking
About what the rest of us don't know
I'm a fool on the ground below them
On my phone beneath the sky
But I know there's no one walking, really
Through these dreams that I have
In the daylight, I do all this work that needs to get done
And I leave the mind of night
I can't remember having crossed a threshold
Between the dust and the alive
So when a raven starts a conversation
I just stand there and blank out
But I'm wrong
There is another world inside this one, it shines
These birds trying for my attention
And my wordless reply
I actually see them all the time
And I hear their voices talking
About what the rest of us don't know
I'm a fool on the ground below them
On my phone beneath the sky
But I know there's no one walking, really
Through these dreams that I have
In the daylight, I do all this work that needs to get done
And I leave the mind of night
I can't remember having crossed a threshold
Between the dust and the alive
So when a raven starts a conversation
I just stand there and blank out
But I'm wrong
There is another world inside this one, it shines
These birds trying for my attention
And my wordless reply
