When My Wings Hit the Shed
Bird of Youth

One day soon while the doe-eyed girls swoon


At the floor where your feet sit


I'll throw you a fit


And i'll start throwing stones


And say my, how you've grown,


I just can't believe it




Turn my face to the crowd


And i'll laugh right out loud


As they spit, yeah, their teeth they just grit


On the sharp bits of sand


That I pulled from the pit


Where those cold days lay limp




You can't live with these bones


Turn them into a home


Rolled off the slim fingers of


A young girl who will roam


So you paint the walls red


And as your face hits the bed


What will you dream of
what will you dream of


My first love




I cannot be this clone you want


Nail-biting debutante, screaming

i want, oh, I want,


No these words have flown


Oh you should have known


You fucking savant




You cannot love these bones


That cannot be alone



Rolled off the slim feathers of


This unfeeling dove


So you love that instead


And as her wings hit the shed


What will you dream of?




You're pulling strings, you're pulling stunts


Your lips are preening

In the dungeon where


You built the ship that sails


Among the tallest tales


Between your teeth and wails


Over the tines and scales


That bind your feet with nails


You're stuck in time


You can't go back, my love... My love...




And this limp bird can't roam


As your mouth fills with foam


Rolled off of your slim, tender tongue


So you swallow the dread and


It fills you with lead


And as the ground holds your head


What will you dream of


Your limbs have bled dry


And the days won't be kind


They will be peaceful in time


When you speak your last line
