Savelle without her tongue
Had longed to see, behind the choir
I was born without a wing
Or better yet, a chance to guide her

Understand I'm not a man
I'm not the man I long to be

Falling down under the wire
Across the ream, an open fire
Watching birds sink in the mud
Would make me think of ways to hide her

Understand I'm not a man
I'm not the man I long to be

Braised against the wire
What did I desire
To vanish in the lake
With everyone beside her
Feed and build her up
A waste of time
In spite of me

I wish I could see the stars
From where I stood
The world was brighter
Pouring out a glass of wine
Inside the woods
Say nothing died here
Understand I'm not a man
I'm not the man I long to be
Understand I'm not a man
I'm not the man I long to be

Braised against the wire
What did I desire
To vanish in the lake
With everyone beside her
Feed and build her up
A waste of time
In spite of me
