Sparrows Wings

Trapped within the confines
Of my mind
The wall is taller than I
Ever climb
My feet are tired
My hands are weak
It's hard to save the pace
I strive to reach

Black and blue
Trudging through
Inky puddles in mind again
Sparrows wings tied to strings
Mending corners in my mind again
Heel to toe
Here I go up a mountain
And it never ends
It never ends

I only have a single bed
There's only room for starlight
And the thoughts in my head
This cloud of hazy lies I drank
Will reemerge until this
Ship has sank

Black and blue
Trudging through
Inky puddles in mind again
Sparrows wings tied to strings
Mending corners in my mind again
Heel to toe
Here I go up a mountain
And it never ends
It never ends

Rusty shackles
Clench my wrists so long
That when they're free they don't
Know how to belong
I must reteach my hands to write
As well as join together
In prayer at night

Black and blue
Trudging through
Inky puddles in mind again
Sparrows wings tied to strings
Mending corners in my mind again
Heel to toe
Here I go up a mountain
And it never ends
It never ends
