Maybe if I could leak out the sadness
Maybe if I could somehow let it drain
Maybe if I could pinpoint the culprit
Maybe if I could just hit the right vein
Maybe if I could find the exact words
Maybe if I could channel purely pain

I looked at it from every angle
I analyzed it for years
I came out of the derealization
I drowned in the postponed tears

I once met a dead end
Because I picked the wrong road
No choice but to hitchhike back
With such a heavy load

I had this vivid dream and it gave me a clue
A broken bird let me hold it before it flew
It had emerald eyes and I instantly knew
That every time I see a finch, I’ll think of you

Sometimes when all feels gloomy
Sometimes when you're filled with doubt
All you need is some introspect
And time to figure it all out

I was an easy target and your eyes were set to ****

You can’t ever recognize them all
They’ll mold into everything you lack
And just when you begin to fall
They’ll decide not to love you back
