Imperial Railway - The nest Lyrics
My life has been measuredI’ve been plucked of my feathersMy body’s cold floating in the river aloneI sang from a nestUntil the wolf dragged my friendsBack to her den. We never sang againCome home to me and we’ll dig up the groundWe’ll rebuild our nest with the bones that we foundI need a loveStrong enough to hold me upMy friends are a crutch. I can’t use them enoughNo sleeping awayWith you digging up my graveThe mistakes we’ve made now mold the claySo I sing through the catacombsAnd I’m digging up worms aloneOh your echo returns any song I’ve ever chirpedMama bird, mama bird. She couldn’t care for her youngEcho are you there return to meMy dearest son, you will die youngMy dearest son, you will die youngMy dearest sonAnd I’ll fabricate new wingsBut I swear that I won’t sing. I won’t sing
