paper pigeons

Shotgun Shells Litter the floor of my bedroom. All my best friends came and went. Would you tear out my heart if I let you? Refill me with your cement? I'll build you castles With my shaky hands. Plant flowers in the yard. I crack apart Under your commands Command me with your heart I see paper pigeons fly I see paper pigeons fly Into my life If I deny Anything and everything I'm feeling Just to keep your fire from my life. Then I Forfeit any reason to keep breathing If I'm not beneath your light. In your eyes There's a spark And it tears me to pieces But those pieces grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow Now the forest of my love Reaches to the sky above I'm enamored with a dove That the world thinks is a pigeon But it's fine And we're safe In this ugly world we hate There is warmth in this place You are Beautiful I see paper pigeons fly I see paper pigeons fly Into my life
