lyrics

You think you’re small but your voice is loud
You taste starlight and you touch sound
So rarely meet either sky or ground
Live between, in these liminal lands
And when your feet leave the branches
It feels like life
When wings catch the wind, for just a space of seconds
Fail to feel unmanned...
...
You’ve felt ground’s solidity, strength and support
When you touched earth on two limbs
Later licked the sky, and though you liked the taste
Was where others belonged in
Though none would now know it, existing here
In this land of long falls
When that long tail lashes loose in the wind
You feel it all
...
And when your feet leave the branches
It feels like life
When wings catch the wind, for a matter of moments
The feeling's like being...
Naked and lost in the lands you invented
Alive on the living, the lonely and hunted
…
Touch the fetid wind
Ruffling body fur
Your feet leave the branch
And it feels like an answer
