lyrics

You can’t fix me; I’m a broken one. The hardiest weed, I’m a tangled and choking one. I found you in pain; you hobbled along. Our stitches still raw, we made a team, Stood no chance alone. Our bandages stained, gRAND experiments gone wrong; I see your heart exposed; I show restraint, Try not to pick your bones.

these ratty plumes stay plucked Cause I know what hue they are And these blunted wings stay tucked Cause I know they won’t take me far, oh - I can’t fix you; you’re a broken one. The hardest truth is the painful, unspoken one.

The journey’s been long And there’s been no map to guide us BUT Still, we scout ahead, fleeing the fray, Searching for brush to hide us. We pause now and then, Try to bind up the wounds you’ve worried and Pry your beak from your back; You stay convinced you’ve coaxed the clots to hurry.

these ratty plumes stay plucked, Because you know what hue they are, And these stunted wings stay tucked cause you know I believe they won’t take us far, no. Othese ratty plumes stay plucked; They grow in patches over these scars, And these sunken eyes stay shut So they can’t see how doomed we are, oh - Give up your dreams; you’re a broken one. Can’t shake their nets, outmaneuvered and way outgunned.

We scavenge for scraps, Loping with no hope or purpose and carve meandering paths, holding out hope The world might not disturb us. I'll Continue to try Not to pelt you with the pebbles I’ve gathered, AND Though our lumbering forms may never fly, We choose to flock together. And these ratty plumes stay plucked Cause we know how few there are , And these blunted wings stay tucked; I’ll make do without wings on this avatar.
