Drunk Songbirds

That I might start anew Far from you That I might start anew That I might start anew Far from you That I might start anew Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine Oh darling don't you never say just what you mean Cause I've spared no chance to find you on a leaving road That runs like blood These veins that flood with every ballad never sung And every distant engine hum Every distant hum That I might start anew Far from you That I might start anew That I might start anew Far from you That I might start anew Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine Oh darling don't you never say just what you mean Arms' marrow rushing to the window on the sun like a pulsebeat Our furrow seeded with the accidental promise of a good dream What might have been That I might start anew Far from you That I might start anew Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine I rhymed to see myself in you I but leaned too hard on mercy too But with all of this too close at night I flail at your distant light That I might start anew Far from you That I might start anew Like drunk songbirds on the walls of this machine
