[Verse 1]
[Cm] People like to take their time to heal
[Ab] But some don’t want to mend the way they feel
[Eb] Don’t wanna be broken, don’t wanna be new
[G] Just caught in the grayness, stuck in the view
[Bb] It’s a strange kind of fuckery, a heavy cost
[E] To feel the phantom ache of everything they lost
[Cm] To carry someone’s heartache in your own chest
[G] When you’re the one who needs the quiet and the rest

[Chorus]
[Style: Downtempo, Lush Strings]
[Cm] And the [Ab] wings are getting thinner with [Eb] every single [G] fight
[Cm] Losing all the feathers [Ab] in the middle of the night
[Bb] Searching for the light... [E] searching for the light

[Verse 2]
[Cm] Violent rage sent the bird into flight
[Ab] But her wings were torn and heavy in the night
[Eb] She went into a panic, flapping at the air
[G] While the pack gathered with a cold and steady stare
[Bb] They didn't see the trauma or the shadows in her head
[E] They only saw prey, they only wanted to be fed
[Cm] These wolves were satanic, a pack against the one
[G] Waiting for the moment that the struggle would be done

[Chorus]
[Cm] And the [Ab] wings are getting thinner with [Eb] every single [G] fight
[Cm] Losing all the feathers [Ab] in the middle of the night
[Bb] Searching for the light... [E] searching for the light

[Atmospheric Bridge]
[Style: Ambient, Minimalist, Thievery Corporation Dub]
[Ab] She thought she found a home, trusted with her life
[Eb] One species for another, through the sacrifice and strife
[Bb] But she was just a game to them, a temporary thrill
[G] Until the day they decided they were moving in to kill
[E] Traumatised and broken, inside and out
[Cm] The bird escaped... [Ab] she found the way out
[Sound: Distant howling wolf, distorted and slowed down]

[Refrain]
[Style: Light Rhodes Piano, Smooth and Melancholic]
[Vocal: Breathy and intimate]
[Bb] Rebuilding the nest, but with branches, not twigs
[E] No more small foundations, no more dancing jigs
[Cm] Keeping all the wolves at bay
[G] Keeping all the wolves... away

[Outro]
[Style: Dub Outro, Heavy Tape Echo]
[Cm] Branches, not twigs...
[Ab] A long journey to survival...
[Eb] Rebuild the nest...
[G] [Whisper: "Protect yourself..."]
[Fade out with Ethereal Vocal Harmonies]
[Fading Cm chord with long reverb]
[Sound: Slow heart beat, Vinyl crackle, Fade to silence]
