Lyrics
I run
I am running
From the ones that I love
Avoiding those I care about
Into the arms of
Seeking comfort in the arms of
The ones I don't love
People I do not love
It's a free fall
Experiencing a free fall
Still going down
Continuing to descend
Still holding out
Still maintaining hope or resistance
While the birds circle above
While birds are flying in circles above
And I can't keep breaking
Unable to avoid causing harm
Things that aren't mine
Destroying things that do not belong to me
But I can't see past this
Struggling to see beyond intense anger
Fury inside
Feeling a deep, powerful anger within
While birds circle
While birds continue to circle
While birds circle
Repetition of birds circling, emphasizing the image
While birds circle
Continued emphasis on the circling birds
Below
Emphasizing the circle of birds below
While birds circle
Reiteration of birds circling
While birds circle
Repetition of the image of circling birds
While birds circle
Emphasizing the ongoing circling of birds
Below
Highlighting the circle of birds below
I feel like
Feeling as if my vitality is damaged
My blood is broken
Sensing a broken state in my blood
My heart is stolen
Perceiving my heart as stolen
Both lungs are frozen
Experiencing a numbness in both lungs
I can see you
Observing you, but unable to connect emotionally
But I can't feel you
Seeing you, but not feeling your presence
It's like a dream
Comparing the situation to a dream where screams go unheard
When you scream
Emphasizing the silence when screaming
But no one hears you
Expressing the isolation when screaming without being heard
And I don't believe
Lacking belief in absolutes
In black and white
Rejecting simplistic views
But if I had to say
If forced to choose, acknowledging your correctness
I'd say you're right
Acknowledging someone else's perspective as valid
While birds circle
Reiteration of birds circling
While birds circle
Emphasizing the continuous circling of birds
While birds circle
Repetition of the image of circling birds
Below
Highlighting the circle of birds below
While birds circle
Reiteration of birds circling
While birds circle
Repetition of the image of circling birds
While birds circle
Emphasizing the ongoing circling of birds
Below
Highlighting the circle of birds below
In through the smoke stack they go
Depicting birds entering a smokestack
To find their rest it's warmer inside
Describing the smokestack as a place of warmth and rest
In through the smoke stack they go
Repetition of birds entering the smokestack
One by one
Highlighting the individual, sequential entry of birds
In through the smoke stack they go
Depicting birds going into the smokestack
To find their rest it's warmer inside
Describing the smokestack as a place of warmth and rest
In through the smoke stack they go
Repetition of birds entering the smokestack
One by one
Highlighting the individual, sequential entry of birds
