The Midnight Bird

Cormorant fell from the sky And it died upon your feet Couldn't leave the king to rot So you took its head off clean I didn't understand just why You said to carry death with me There you go again You're dwelling in the darkest place I asked my mom about the omens She said they just mean change How come young wounds never heal And how can I know to trust what I feel You don't have to explain You don't have to make sense of pain When the midnight bird sings When the ghosts just won't stop humming It's a curse that calls on you But you smile at the cost of truth You don't have to explain You don't have to make sense of pain When the midnight bird sings When the ghosts just won't stop humming It's a curse that calls on you But you always smile at the cost of truth
