The Joy Formidable - Popinjay

It's just a world apart, you said
It's like nothing you've seen, this place
The fiction's given, the ending bled
Into a space across your page

How did it wrap you like
Morning fog chokes the trees
Believed it will - there's something bigger than you know
Are you waiting on me?

It holds you deep and lonely
The center's here, you fill, you own it
Popinjay
Say the word, and see clearly
We can stay in time if we lose the beginning

The crooked leaves for favors dealt
The scared and greedy in the storm
Onto forgotten trust
Onto forgetting us

It holds you deep and lonely
The center's here, you fill, you own it
Popinjay
Say the word, and see clearly
We can stay in time if we lose the beginning

A start
It's better than a fall
It's better than not starting at all

It's just a world apart, you said
It's the pillars of your heart
That leave you lonely
It's the pillars of your heart
That lead to loneliness
