all the pretty birds that were never heard
one flew away one desolate day
another was stolen one wasted away
as far as i can see, they will not be returning
all the fancy girls in this crowded world
every note they sing, relinquished to a dream
all the pretty birds that were never heard
as far as i can see, they will not be returning
one caught on fire, one slipped away, one was desired, one was afraid
one was distracted, one was relieved, one was misguided, one was deceived
one was disturbing and one was unloved, stupid distracted mentally undone
aching and battered and bitter and fried
itching and fuming and cracking inside
go ask them why
it’s in your head
