Floating Feather

I walk home alone with you in the manner I’m accustomed to
All the words you bring they make me fall to pieces
The city drains our white-washed walls until the final bottle falls
I’ve been learning things I’ve always known by heart
Alone in my sleep, they say the devil runs that deep
And so I learn to take a leap of faith
I’ve been wasting time on our conversations
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been as long as you come back again
The days are long, the nights are raw and grueling
It could take forever now to find the life you read about
It’s back to talk of things we’ve never known at all
It’s just like you heard, you take the fox and the bird
And try to make them friendly for a day
I’m always wasting time with this floating feather
I walk home alone with you in the manner I’ve grown accustomed to
All the words you bring they make me fall to pieces
The city workers can’t fill in this hole that you and I’ve been digging
We’re always wanting things we’ll never have, not at all
It’s just like you’ve heard, you take the fox and the bird
And try to make them friendly for a day
So run if you must chasing after some lust
And wait to turn back to dust
