Mimicking Birds
Bloodlines
[Verse 1]
I will protect your shadow
Even though when it's dark it slips
I'll clean your window
Make you look out and see scenery
Cause I am a stranger
Shouldn't talk to myself
In times of rearrangement
Or even in good mental health
[Chorus 1]
And on the other side
Soon they'll side
With their family who hides
From all the evil within their own bloodline
But you fly a different kite
Hovering over their heads so high
[Verse 2]
And I will tie your lasso
Can't you make a knot slip?
I'll ask your ghost
If he can remember me
Cause I am a creature
Of mixed up energies
In times of restraint
Living in captivity
[Chorus 2]
And on the other side
More mountains slide
Away from their fault lines
And taper into new shorelines
Sliding down the timeline
Pulling the nerves up through your spine
Veering off to the side
Sometimes when you lose sight of that line
Guided by the same light
Holding all of our heads up so high
