I was waken late the other night

There was a bird trapped in my heart

I tried to open up and let it out

Before it tore my chest apart

I tossed and turned

I prayed for it to stop

I scratched my face and tore my sheets

But I was way too late, my heart was gone



And in its place these bird wings beat

I was waken from a day to day dream

There was a bird trapped in my mind

I tried to open up and let it out

But there was no use in trying

And where I once had a head full of thoughts

Of happiness and daily things

There is only strange darkness now

And in the darkness this bird sings

I'm coming down the mountain
