Blood is not thicker than water Just harder to wash out Me the perpetual messiah Trying to fix all broken things The never-ending, savior complex- Like that bird we found in our backyard When I was five; And I had to learn that "All living things die-" I wish mom would've taught me that "You cant save everyone" Instead. You are not a bird You don't suffer from broken wings Your wound's are internal Invisible Forever perplexing the mind of thousands of boggled doctors Like I was supposed to pick up What an X-Ray couldn't. And inject you with some secret serum That escaped from my lips I spent so much time Trying to clasp your wounds shut So much energy But you bled out Right in front of me You aren't a friggin' bird. And I cant save you.

You are not a bird
Blood is not thicker than water Just harder to wash out Me the perpetual messiah Trying to fix all broken things The never-ending, savior complex- Like that bird we found in our backyard When I was five; And I had to learn that "All living things die-" I wish mom would've taught me that "You cant save everyone" Instead. You are not a bird You don't suffer from broken wings Your wound's are internal Invisible Forever perplexing the mind of thousands of boggled doctors Like I was supposed to pick up What an X-Ray couldn't. And inject you with some secret serum That escaped from my lips I spent so much time Trying to clasp your wounds shut So much energy But you bled out Right in front of me You aren't a friggin' bird. And I cant save you.
