My Birds by Mariee Sioux Lyrics

Empty
Where she once filled a void in my home
But It’s ok I’ll live while alone circles the womb
Afraid of the "we"

But I’m still standing while the rock in my hand turns to dust
I’m still breathing while the air in my lungs falls like sand
And I’m still needing the generous love of my man
And I’m still weaving this life with iridescent strands
And we’re all fucking nuts but the future still depends on us

Mourning birds they bring in the dawn, the dawn’s unfolding wings
My birds they bring in the dawn, the dawn's unfolding wings
My birds they sing for the dawn, the dawn's unfolding wings

But I’m still standing while the rock in my hand turns to dust
I’m still breathing while the air in my lungs falls like sand
And I’m still needing the generous love of my man
And I’m still weaving this life with iridescent strands
And we’re all fucking nuts but the future still depends on us
Mourning birds they bring in the dawn, the dawn’s unfolding wings
My birds they bring in the dawn, the dawn's unfolding wings
My birds they sing for the dawn, the dawn's unfolding wings

Alive, Alone, still got my bones
Alive, Alone, can still cast shadows
Alive, Alone, won’t my love come home?

Alive, Alone, still got my songs
Alive, Alone, I can still turn stones
Alive, Alone, a void in my home
Alive, Alone, avoiding my home

While my birds they bring in the dawn
My birds they bring in the dawn
My birds they sing for the dawn
My birds they sing for the dawn
The dawn’s unfolding wings
