"Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
Take a wing and a thorn –
It steps on the branch –
Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
It steps on the branch –
You don’t know how to catch the bird, in your life –
Feral –
And take time to know, it’s not yours –
Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
Take a wing and a thorn –
It steps on the branch –
Some somewhere set a trap for a form –
It steps on the branch –
You don’t know how to catch the bird, in your life –
Feral –
And take time to know, it’s not yours –
I turn truth in blue –
I turn truth in blue."
