This track is about the breaking of a relationship, and the effects and thoughts that follow. It was written freshmen year. Every instrument you hear besides clapping was played by Christian Lyon.
lyrics
Broken bird, won’t you come down
From your perch? You’ve got me found out
Once I heard you sing so loud
But you’re hurt, you only scream now
Wind lashed our backs
Ice formed, we cracked
Here I lie arms are folded
And my eyes are coated
I will not cry it’s not hopeless
Though your car has long left
With all the time that you’ve left me
I’m thinking things that are not healthy
It seems to me the comfort I crave
Will have to wait for my grave
I have refuge in two trees
One has roots and one just leaves
Wind lashed our backs
Ice formed, we cracked
