On a mountain high,
High above the great blue sky,
lives the soul bird.

He is life, he is death,
He is the worlds souls.
From the gnomes to the elves, to the ferocious trolls,
from the animals, to the humans, to the angels untold.
Our souls he will always hold.

When we die, the soul bird dies too.
When we are in pain, the bird hurts too.
When we stare at love, the soul bird spawns a beautiful dove.

But when we leave this frail world,
the bird will die withered and curled
and never again will it feel hate or love, or spawn a beautiful dove.

in the dark depths i can smell you even though i’m blind to the sun i can hear you
searching for worms i find you only to scurry back away from the rain

Yeah, the empty threats as usual,
So damn predictable,
You sit there with your head in your hands
I wish I could recognise your truths from your lies
Hoping I can kiss it better, oh please won’t you just look me in the eyes?

I want to forget you so damn bad
I wanted to make you happy but the tears tell me you’re sad
I can’t be bothered to stick in the knife, pull it out and watch you bleed
Now I know you’re not the one that I live for want and need.

I was thinking maybe we could start over,
Turn over onto a clean page.
But it seems you’d rather mess with me and leave me paralysed
I pray that underneath that empty gaze, that you’re somewhere underneath
Down in the darkness of your pointless past - lets make our final farewell brief

I want to forget you so damn bad
I wanted to make you happy but the tears tell me your sad
I can’t be bothered to stick in the knife, pull it out and watch you bleed
Now I know you’re not the one that I live for want and need.

Finally, what’s done is done
Your stare is bitter and empty (just like before)
I give myself my final chance to rouse you from your hell
But it’s over, I surrender call it the end of round three
Wordless goodbye’s invisible tears and I’ll throw down your key.

I want to forget you so damn bad
I wanted to make you happy but the tears tell me your sad
I can’t be bothered to stick in the knife, pull it out and watch you bleed
Now I know you’re not the one that I live for want and need.

Lie after lie,
Kiss after kiss,
Hope after hope,
Just tell me you won’t
Escape me, don’t slip between my fingers
And fade, fade, fade away.
