lyrics

A magpie or a mockingbird
Made masks and worlds from what i’d heard

A halformed creature from the dark
Crawled up with just my bloody heart

Gathered up each missing piece,
To stretch my wings and dull my teeth

Listened close to twist and twine
A shape to fit in other minds

I made myself a friendly face
And learned to fit whatever space
Or shape the comfortless might ask
A gentle memory of the past

I’m right here, you’ll be ok
You’ll be ok

Let’s talk awhile and I’ll
Remind of a better place

I’ll be a voice that whispers lullabies
And does her best to light the way

A dream of sky, A kinder lie
Hope enough to last the day

In the sea of dark delusion
Let me spin from light, illusion
And believe in every desperate plan
The final refuge of the damned

Bury me, where bird song sounds
In the forest that my heart has found
That my roots might cradle and surround
The world grown from my soul unwound

My shining city, my roots my leaves
Look around and think of me

In dappled shade and soft sunlight
I hope that I have done it right

I’m right here
You’ll be ok, you’ll be ok
