Wings Cut / Fingers Cut - Jesse Marchant

Still of the night

Still of the night

Under my breath

When it was still in me

Endless dream

Endless dream

With the fire out

Can it still be seen

Every thought in a cell

With my fingers cut, living hell

Cut me deep

Cut me deep

Wish I knew in my bones

If it will ever heal

And what will stand

What will stand

If I get out of the swamp

But live still in its heat

Which is sand, which is salt

Every late night rain almost gone

All just sliding away

With a will for life

Always fought against

Oh how this life can be pained

Love is a wave

Love is a wave

I held my breath

And it took me deep

If you can dance

If you can dance

Over my cracks, will it help me heal

It all gets in, but you know I

Never take it for what it is meant

No, it just lies in the way

A bird’s wings are cut

And it’s put in a cage

All of its life, what a waste
