"Helicopter Toy" lyrics

"Helicopter Toy"

Trace the litter
Blades near the common rat
Cheap transmitter
I can't find my way back

Violent liquor
Look that I never knew
Moving quicker...
Something's controlling you

Will the wind destroy or avoid it?
Will the wind destroy
The helicopter toy?
Thrumming ghost across the eaves
Pilot keeps it spun by a secret
From the cellar void
Helicopter toy
Fly away into the trees

I have wandered
Deep where the jade vine grows
Something stalks me
Drink what the water flows

Will the wind destroy or avoid it?
Will the wind destroy
The helicopter toy?
Thrumming ghost across the eaves
Pilot keeps it spun by a secret
From the cellar void
Helicopter toy
Fly away into the trees

Bed was a bottle, but your legs outgrew it
Trust is the blood bubble inside my shoes
A second chance but you can't redo it
Love is the promise that someday you'll lose
I wanna leave so bad and wings always were your miracle
Your miracle

Will the wind destroy or avoid it?
Will the wind destroy
The helicopter toy?
Thrumming ghost across the eaves
Pilot keeps it spun by a secret
From the cellar void
Helicopter toy
Fly away into the trees
