Birds In Row - Water Wings

I drew a few steps on the first street
Jumped to a store locals named Million Ways To Fuck It Up
It seems we all wish, we all wish, we all wish, we all wish
To sell ourselves to a million offers
Dozen letters in my pocket from people I respect, and no way to write back
Return to sender, attention not found
Return to sender, attention not found

Confusing loneliness for freedom, solitude for a serum, and complaints for poetry
I fell, I failed
I betrayed the kid I kept safe from all counterfeit hopes
And all the snakes we swallow
And all the snakes we swallow

An aisle of silicon hands to shake and crush your throat
Where do we go, where do we go from here?
Water wings sell like balloon shaped hopes
Where do we go, where do we go from here?
A burden is a burden to the burdened
They'd sell the limbless a course on how to sink with elegancy

I took it back to the street
Bought whatever they had
Thought I should write down my dreams
A notebook by the bed In case I'm lucky tonight
Fantasized on how to beat regret
Fantasized on how to beat regret
Fantasized on how to beat regret
I'll eventually crack it but you know me, I'll just forget
And I almost find sleep
Pressing my eyes, watching colors, summer for cold feet
Stains and tunnels, abstraction bores me, here no museums are free
I don't want to be young
I don't want to be young
I don't want to be old enough to remember all the things I projected
But never touched in fear of ruining dreams I don't possess

And these are dreams that I'll never forgive
Water wings, water wings, water wings of lead
They are dreams that I'll never forgive
Water wings, water wings, water wings of lead
They are dreams that I'll never forgive
Water wings, water wings, water wings of lead
They are dreams that I'll never forgive
Water wings, water wings, water wings of lead
