FOR THOSE BELOW

Hello birds she lies across the stairs Haunting your days consuming your prays There will be healing but don't force this girl to stand As she is counting a ceilings, a pale voice and trembling hand You told me life was long but now that it's gone You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock caught to be around those below Whisper nods from a piano in the corner of the room Hold your throat is that a healing that you are hearing in her tune Wanting change but loving her as she lies Is the burden of a man who's built his life on love You told me life was long but now that it's gone You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock caught to be around those below I'll be locked off and stored in lavender wood My mind is just like hers Just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned Then I find myself on top as the leader of the flock caught to be around those below
