carrion birds perch off-screen
directing what the public sees
but in my mind, it’s just you and me
i can’t hear you anymore
mirroring my words between closed doors
but my lips repeat what you said before
your wings will guide me as i fall
your wings will guide me as i fall
i thought i heard you whimpering
but it was only the blank screen
my senses plead that this is all a dream
my feather headdress crowns me king
but it will never serve as wings
useless flutters drowned out your whispering
your wings will guide me as i fall
your wings will guide me as i fall
now i have started my descent
screaming the phrases that you bent
i know now there is nothing you really meant
and i won’t even start to try
cause no one hears my cries for life
there has been nothing since you helped me fly
your wings will guide me as i fall
your wings will guide me as i fall
your wings will guide me as i fall
your wings will guide me as i fall

i’m not too proud of this one anymore, but i was fifteen when i wrote it, so…
yes, i’m aware of the first line’s similarity to the silversun pickups’ song “substitution”- that was the inspiration for this piece. i don’t believe it’s plagiarism because that’s the only similarity between the two songs.
