The Capgun - The Nightingale Lyrics

What did you think was going to happen
This is all wrong

Now, it disintegrates
Before my eyes
Everything we built
Three sleepless years
How is this the reward

From my heart to my hands
Never enough
Transforming me

I want to find away to understand
To see past and future as you do
A revelation remiss

To be kissed
Is to be cursed
To inhale
Is to burst

Like clouds
In this tempest
Surrounding
Engulfing
Consuming all

Tonight we face the silvery sleet
We see inward. Then upward
Into the rain

South of sound, at my two speeds
Where it's finally safe to breathe
Where the distant light now fades
For I am the Swansea

You can take it all away
But remember we are the same
Made to thrash and scream
And bleed for what we create

My songbird
Whispered words
Strip loyalties away
With secrets
Susurrations
I shake and sway
Led astray

And here we are
The nightingale, into the air he sails
