Burning Feathers in Spring

[Verse 1] Air tastes wrong Too sweet Too sharp on his tongue He laughs it off Feathers rattle Like teeth in a young gun Red wings twitch On the edge of the roof Every heartbeat Lands like proof That something’s Dragging him under [Chorus] Spring hits hard on a body like mine Every breath Every step out of line Burning feathers in the bloom and the sun All this wanting and nowhere to run Caught between the hero and the heat in my blood Yeah I’m smiling But I’m coming undone (coming undone) This spring rut’s got me Coming undone [Verse 2] Smoke in his lungs But it doesn’t calm the ache He jokes too loud Just to drown out Every tremor Every shake His shadow flares On the cracked concrete He’s guarding the world But who guards him When his pulse Starts skipping beats? [Chorus] Spring hits hard on a body like mine Every breath Every step out of line Burning feathers in the bloom and the sun All this wanting and nowhere to run Caught between the hero and the heat in my blood Yeah I’m smiling But I’m coming undone (yeah, I’m coming undone) This spring rut’s got me Coming undone [Bridge] What do you save When you’re the one In danger? How do you fly When your skin Feels stranger? He claws at the sky Just to cool his skin But the wind says Give in Give in (oh, give in) [Chorus] Spring hits hard on a body like mine Every breath Every step out of line Burning feathers in the bloom and the sun All this wanting and nowhere to run Caught between the hero and the heat in my blood Yeah I’m smiling But I’m coming undone This spring rut’s got me This spring rut’s got me Coming undone
