Lyrics

Watching you become machine
Was the most frightening thing I've ever seen
And birds are meant to sing in trees
Banish the root
Vanish the leaves
They'll learn to sing on electric wire
Come little flock of sparrows
Take me higher

Your love
was the most trusted thing
Your hands they were to steadying
For you for you I'd trade my girlhood wings

Your heart fought for change
But got buried away
In the dark cave of your rage
I look to the sky for stars I love to gaze at
But I'll never see the heavens in your face
I wish I were a canary down in a mine
With the strength to lift you up to the rain

Your love
was the most trusted thing
Your hands they were to steadying
Your love it was the most trusted thing
For you for you I'd trade my girlhood wings

Oooh losing you
The tragic force of gravity
Oooh and for you
I left behind my girlhood wings

Your love was the most trusted thing
Your love was the most trusted thing
Your hands they were to steadying
Your love it was the most trusted thing
For you for you I'd trade my girlhood wings

And watching you become machine
Was the most frightening thing
I've ever seen
