romance is dead
mystery we've k**ed her
thus devalued, she's that much easier to claim
gild all gods and angels
forget from where you came
thus elevated, we aren't animals at all
instead of flying
and with no defenses
instead of flying they did not leave
the tethered sun
unwilling witness
the wild parakeets of the carolinas
shot down, every one
we don't even know they're missing
instead of flying
and with no defenses
instead of flying they did not leave
the tethered sun
unwilling witness
witness
witness
witness
