Bones of a bird;
Hollow as the teenage mind
Every time he jumped, he would be set soaring
And if he were with you for a very long time
You would find his life was in the sky
Eyes of glass;
Kaleidoscope iris' ever-changing
Every time he blinked he saw you in a different shade
And if he was looking for a very long time
He would know all your faces off hand
Words akin to water;
Surrounding you, keeping you afloat
And every time he spoke sirens sang lullabies
And if you were to listen for a very long time
You would find him to be ubiquitous
Bones of a bird;
He wanted so desperate to fill their hollow bellies
But every time he stumbled, he flew
And he would not be with you a very long time
For he craved the solidity of man and air
Eyes of glass;
Too much smog from flight had clouded his sight
And if he was with you any time at all
You would feel him looking only past you; mind blank
Words akin to water;
They swelled in your ears and made your head pound
And if by chance, you were with him a very long time
You would have to wonder if they were his, or the thoughts of a bird
