From the night, deep and dark 
The light fast poured in
The sounds too, in stereo
All around me crashing
As I move through absurd
I see a bird 
Hiding in the conifers 
Blackened by this universe

Hey Blackbird
Show me away
You don’t know these boarders 
So carry me out of here 

Are we pictures in a gallery
Citizen refugee 
Our lives up on display
The whole world looks away 
As I move through absurd 
I see a bird 
Hiding in the conifers 
Blackened by this universe

Hey Blackbird
Show me away 
You don’t know these boarders 
So carry me out of here.

Blackbird

Tell me why are your fresh lips shaking
When the moon that bids us sleep is waking
Don't fear the sinking down to yonder 
To that other place, the abyss of wonder

Vanish under the shimmering cover
To the rhythm of each other 
My animal core wants more my dear
The wreckage of the night, my souvenir

Ana where have you been
Walking through my landscape
As real as anything that I've been dreaming
I've seen a lot of living
And now I've found my rhythm  

Tell me what are your fresh lips making 
You know that next line is all I'm seeking 
A thousand little thoughts urge me forward 
But in the silent struggle I miss the moment 

I touch your shoulder, I couldn't be bolder
Those familiar regrets when the night is over
My animal soul swallowed whole my dear
In the wreckage of the night I disappear 

Ana where have you been
Walking through my landscape
As real as anything that I've been dreaming
I've seen a lot of living
now I've found my rhythm 

As we go down the smoke goes up

I touch your shoulder, I couldn't be bolder
Those familiar regrets when the night is over
My animal soul swallowed whole my dear
In the wreckage of the night I disappear

In the distance and delirium 
Vagabond across the ocean 
In the outline iodine sky 
Dragonfly 

All my promises 
So heavy on my chest 
Your ever thirsty furnaces 
Never rest 

Why don’t we skip right to the end
I’m tired of waiting 
Formless in free fall
That’s me
Silver splashes on the mercury surface
Autumn dyes and eyes of peridot 
My iridescent hero
Much more beautiful than you need to be
I would’ve fallen for free

That’s why I 
Call you my dragonfly
