WINGED REFUGEE LYRICS

Verse:

It's been years
Inside a thick blue fog
With no horizons or landmarks
To tell east from west
Or kitchen to bed
My eyes and lips
Were my compass
So tell me where am I now?
Inside this house
When there is no line
Between the earth and sky

The sunsets
Behind a muffled cloud
I watch the colors all bleed down
Into a beautiful mess
Across the train tracks
Where there's no trespassing
Or going back
So tell me where am I now?
Inside this town
When there is no line
Between the earth and sky

Chorus:
In this city of crows
We sit like black leaves on branches
Of trees that are bareboned
Like a cloak of dark feathers
City of gulls
Hang Gliding and landing
On chimneys and rooftops
After scavenging breadcrumbs
They come home

Verse:
We're all winged
Refugees
Abandoned talons for clenched teeth
But when we open our mouths
Birdsongs still come out
That trilling cadance that we carry south
Well here I am now
Inside new skin
But I am not tied to the cage I'm in

Chorus:
In this city of crows
We sit like black leaves on branches
Of trees that are bareboned
Like a cloak of dark feathers
City of gulls
Hang Gliding and landing
On chimneys and rooftops
After scavenging breadcrumbs
They come.......

Outro:
Home.......
