Birds

This is our true alarm
This is reality
We will do what we can
We are just figurines
With a theology
That we don't understand

We can't forget the beginning
When He set our broken wings

God, how much does it take
For us to be loved?
For us to be saved?
We all are birds
Stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints
We hide our face
Oh, the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
We can't help but to compare ourselves again

I can't believe in this-
This blue-lipped, lifeless kiss
We can't see past our thrones
We fight for life within
But our walls are wearing thin
Oh God, where have we gone?

When I'm just one fighting indifference
Does it matter what I say?

God, how much does it take
For us to be loved?
For us to be saved?
We all are birds
Stuck inside our cage
Covered up with praise
And behind our saints
We hide our face
Oh, the numbers come
Yeah, they're dialing in
We can't help but to compare ourselves again

It's not that there were ever bad intentions
It's more that we forgot where to call home
From important things that we don't know to mention
It's the uniform that we put on-the formula we have for love

Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Oooh

Beautiful intentions
Formula for love
Oooh

It's not that there were ever bad intentions
It's more that we forgot where to call home
From important things that we don't know to mention
It's the uniform that we put on - the formula we have for love
