The birds will sing Breaking the sky Waking the shores that die The bells will ring, As they do, Breaking the mind As it should The bullets will cry As they scream The ballads would fall so low As the land on the ground The words are bound Tethered to the thoughts like strings Stitched together like wings Full of holes and empty bottles Full of promises Just Like They Do The birds will sing From their pew As the world worms its way through The rain will bleed from the black and blue The clouds will carry dreams that bloom Somewhere in the sky, Is a hue, Somewhere in the light, Are the bones of truth The birds will fly The birds will fly Away, As they always do Just like you knew The words will leave our mouths, Like they do, These words will carry me through These words will bury me Just like you do
