Birds of Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been sleeping without memory
I think I'll lie a little longer
Wait for the crowds to go
Maybe I'll die in this unholy mass
And I'll be free
Yes that's what they say that I would be
When we came to watch the world be over
But there's too many fools
On this boat that made
I can hardly see the water
What's happened to me
I was down on my knees
I was praying to leave
But I never know when I've gone too far
This disaster in me
What a beautiful dream
That told me I'd be cleaner
Told me I'd be closer to God
Oh, the birds of paradise
Came to me yesterday
Laughed when they told me my fate
We'd be cold, we'd be tired, but we could breathe
And one day I'm gonna leave this place
What's happened to me
I was down on my knees
I was praying to leave
But I never know when I've gone too far
This disaster in me
What a beautiful dream
That told me I'd be cleaner
Told me I'd be closer to God
