On the Warm Side - Mimicking Birds

Fake flight

Some bugs just can’t sense things morphing

You shine

Like a new moon, love, only on the other side

We were fine

As kids and when the draper wasn’t rotten yet

Reach behind

But don’t rip your scales off swimming in the high tide

Mankind

Will seize more as soon as that’s what we can find

Behind

Each tree and under every rock a gold mine

I’ll keep looking behind

But you still layer your thoughts upon the steps ahead of foresight

Free from the kids

But then they’ll die feeding her in her own garden

What I’d give

Just to replenish it back in our own chasm

Running down well-eroded ground

You can wait for the flag to wave

Or the dust you stuck it in to rise

Counting down washed up years

Are you planning on being the last one

In our own unrolling nucleonic system

What’d we do today did we go out and ride your tricycle?

Yeah

Where’d you go?

We go there yeah

Did you go around the block?

Yeah

Tell me about it

-somebody else?

You want — huh?

(Ice forms on structures freezing fire)

You to record somebody else

Align

Your ways with the way you once were

A lot kinder

With a certain intention

More sure

Because night

Lasts a lot longer than days

In some places, like the darkest of starless space

It’s all these lies

To portrayal lead people off to more productive times

While others hide

And live forever in the infrastructure keeping nice and quiet

But you’re an exception, you shine

Like a new moon, love, only on the warm side

(You to record somebody else)
