As We Became Birds

None were aware
I was hiding every tone
Now I’ve cornered myself
I exist all alone
Slowly passing time
There’ve been certain ghosts
At the foot of my bed
Glaring me down
Cursing excuses I defend
Taking on this
Burden of guilt
Wary of all I’ve built
But I’ll get by
I get by
I get by
I get by
Is there anything I could do
To make amends
Any single thing
To see us through to the end?
I’ll be bathing
In the cold again
‘Cause she doesn’t feel me anymore
But I’ll get by
I get by
I get by
I get by
We’ll get by
We’ll get by
We’ll get by
We’ll get by
I will pull through
I will pull through
Life’s been shaky, but
I will pull through
