Is that bridge getting built?
Are you making your way?
Your wings are broken,
You can’t return home
The light appears in front of you
You try to resist the pull
Your body drags along the ground
Your talons breaking off
Flightless Bird, jealous, weeping
Lost everything you had
Never had a choice to go
Never to take the sky again
The bridge is getting built
Pressing back the blackened trees
The fog is churning round
Making it hard to see
The cat’s silhouette is as big as a monster
Pushing you away
Crushing you beneath its weight
Forcing you to leave
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Inspired by lines from the songs:
Flightless Bird American Mouth [Iron and Wine]
Sloom [Of Monsters and Men]
Lost in My Mind [The Head and the Heart]
