Columba

Skies dragging over a sudden spectacle
And as you land beside me, your blinking eyes look full
Spreading out your feathers grey as slate and stone
Singing through your bones and stretching your ligaments cold

My own fabric comes clean from my wings
As the sorrow grows roots within me
I
I

Just one tug of the strings
Just one renegade glance
You could peel me apart, watch your strength in me collapse (collapse, collapse)
You can see no more, smile is empty
Tryna force words through gaps in my teeth
I
I

As the blood claws in my veins
And the colour drains from my facе
I won't falter standing in place
I will always be
I will always bе
