Amelia Curran - Blackbird On Fire lyrics
[Amelia Curran - Blackbird On Fire lyrics]
I loved you like a meteor
It cannot change it's path
It's pealed by speed and fire
Just kamikaze ash and like dust on dust
We follow no cradle for regard
No grave to bury sorrow in
And no arrows in our hearts
And yet, bleeding mild forgiveness
Confessions did not earn
But whispered to the witnesses
All waiting for their turn and I, -I, -I
Get tired of tired awakened by the weight of
The common human state
And the metaphor: Black bird on fire
On soft mahogany doesn't carry any key
Like a bead inside of a barrel
I'll be burned before I'm free
Like a universal soldier
I am my own worst enemy
And I have tamed the tide of failure
I have turned the looking glass
I have harvested the future
And I have paralyzed the past
But with one eye closed
I'm folding to a recent memory
When that universal soldier meant
Everything to me
It cannot change it's path
It's pealed by speed and fire
Just kamikaze ash and like dust on dust
We follow no cradle for regard
No grave to bury sorrow in
And no arrows in our hearts
And yet, bleeding mild forgiveness
Confessions did not earn
But whispered to the witnesses
All waiting for their turn and I, -I, -I
Get tired of tired awakened by the weight of
The common human state
And the metaphor: Black bird on fire
On soft mahogany doesn't carry any key
Like a bead inside of a barrel
I'll be burned before I'm free
Like a universal soldier
I am my own worst enemy
And I have tamed the tide of failure
I have turned the looking glass
I have harvested the future
And I have paralyzed the past
But with one eye closed
I'm folding to a recent memory
When that universal soldier meant
Everything to me
