Songbird
We're running from no one
 We're running from time
 We're running in circles
 We're running a rhyme
 Cause one love's not good enough
 There has to be two
 For the songbird to sing again
 And make us beat through
 Through the silence of long days 
 gone and away
 Of the tones that we create 
 when the slayer is slayed
 Of the reasons and rhymes that are biting the bit
 Not sure of what reason, what reason is this?
 So we're walking in circles
 We're walking in time
 To the beat of the two
 The youths in their prime
 But their primate instictives
 Tell them to run
 To run to the pace
 to the strong beating drums
 The drums their own music
 The drums their own time
 Their own language seen as another human's crime
 But this language they speak
 Only these two
 Is a language as beautiful
 As the red white and blue
 They beat down their own beats
 They critique their own love
 But always inside is a branch bearing dove
 That calls them together
 Reminds them their roots
 And together cause two, 
 "We can be anything together" she shoots
 The gun has gone off 
 the bullet whistle past
 She aims for the heart
 But her heart's found half mast
 "this is too much, 
 too much for me" he say
 see what we have done, 
 done together this day?
