birdnest hair so slips the dream
a paper boat in heavy seas
into thin air lost upon the tidal stream
another year, but i don't care

birdnest hair
her resolve
her retribution
sticks and stones
dissolution
it's just me here
fetal position
make up your mind
make a decision

birdnest hair
the frozen breath of butterflies
i'm out of here
into thin air
the falling star slips from my hand
she disappears
but i don't care

birdnest hair
her resolve
her retribution
sticks and stones
dissolution
hands are tied
fetal position
is that the time
i must be leaving
