I see a bird flying down
In a mirror of eyes
The moon in the sky becomes clearer when you
Don't know what it's shining for
Soon it'll be time to put down your mirror
And struggle just a little bit more
I see lonely hands
Reaching for a thing to forget
Cause it keeps on happening every day
But it still ain't happened yet
Someone out on the edge of the water
Is begging you to call their name
Gonna keep on drifting farther
Cause it's too simple to feel the same
Got a word everyone wants
On a level that nobody hears
Unforgettable feelings, ever changing fears
Living of the crumbs of tomorrow they swell
Behind a skinny thing that you kept in the corner
Like quarters inside of a broken machine
Paying off the debt of a funeral mourner
Too loose to wrap around your fingers
Are the strands of dust that made you strong
And under the only occupied space you
Put them back where they belong
Choking up on nothing 'til it
All comes up so black and heavy
It makes you smile, and sit, and wonder
Is this what you asked for? And are you ready?
Got a word everyone wants
On a level that nobody hears
Unforgotten feelings, ever changing fears
Unforgettable feelings, ever changing fears
