Vimanas - Corvidae Lyrics

The year that I became a deaf mute
The trees outside my house refined my taste
And I retracted the statements I'd made
And became one of them
I became one of them

The year my thoughts turned into notions
And over time I felt a breeze beneath my wings
I knew the birds, they were with me
I became one of them
I became one of them

In the trees the leaves display
A subtle seasonal color change
Oft we scoffed at dilettantes
And reveled in it, the brevity of it

The day I reached into my pocket
And grabbed a piece again of my own mind
Still the birds, they were with me
And I can be anything
I remain one of them

Off the campus children play
To fend away the break of day
In we glow like filament
And reveled in it, the brevity of it

Surely, I'm not one to put off sleep
But there's a fire behind my eyes constantly
Though they claim I've been but hollowed out
My insides smooth and whittled down to dust

Its always burning
It weighs so heavy
Its quickly growing
All consuming
The winded breeze
It moves me
Ever so slightly
It blows the dust around
