Bird from Anthropomorphia by Key Out

the lost bird was staring out at the place we used to stay
it’s different, the city changed so much, i wanted to say

the sky felt, so big i couldn’t breathe
and high above the trees, beneath the jets

it stretches, this greying land of thieves
their shiny new machines that we call home

the shade’s bare, the trees have all got wires, and the cranes are crowding in
their metal arms keep reaching for the sky, but they can’t fly

the sky felt, so big i couldn’t breathe
we’re high above the trees, beneath the jets

it stretches, this greying land of thieves
their shiny new machines that we call home

and for the briefest time, i wasn’t in your world or mine, i never thought to wonder why
i heard the past misfire, the sky was low and i was high, it helps me navigate at night

the sky felt so big i couldn’t breathe
