Nightbird from Midiland by Arian

what you wanna do now, ah
i thought you had it all figured out, yeah
i guess you were a liar, oh
always thought you had something up your sleeve
you never did nothing, no
you only sat at home
dreaming bout how you were big time, yea
then ten years passed and you were alone
with nothing to your name, no no
cuz you never made a claim, no no
too afraid of the commitment, ya
too afraid of your opinions

what you wanna be
who do you want everyone to see
dressing up in costume, yeah
hoping for your work to bring a monsoon in the fall
what do you believe
do you have a dream
have you spent your life walking down a hall
it just opened up into a meadow,
frightened by the shadows overhead and so you settle, hiding by a rock where you can only hear your echo, burrowing beneath it to a tavern underground
whiskey please
do you need me?
will you give me something to do?

mama i'ma be ok
fall outta my skin today
crawl out on a limb today
working toward something that's greater
greater than you and i
needed it
i needed it
i needed it more than i knew
i needed it more than i knew
