Good Morning Blackbird

Good morning, blackbird
Hush now, don't awake the Sun
Wolves lay sleeping under sheds
Biting not the hand that fed

Good morning, blackbird
In cold, damp truth
In faking glory, in savage pulse

All silver stars (remember how we used to shine?)
Are now feeble lights (remember how we used to fight?)

I ran back to the moment
Where wounds were not yet scars
And scars were not yet crowns

Only fields and lungs and blood and mouths
And empty hopes and hands, and eyes and youth
And tainted truth uncoiling on my lap

Sleep is reigning over frozen lands
Hush now blackbird
It's my only chance to move unnoticed
To move unharmed
Hush now, blackbird
It's my only chance

Good morning, blackbird
Hush now, don't awake the Sun
Wolves lay sleeping under sheds
Biting not the hand that fed
