Beautiful Birds Flying Lyrics by Valley Maker

Rhododendron

2018

[Verse 1]
Cutting off the light
Like I would an engine
Walking through the night like I've gone missing
Missing from the place I live
Missing from my brain I guess
Looking for some good in another's hand
Looking for a life I could understand
There's violence in the ways I left
Violence in the way again
Even then, you come in nightly
Even in a dream I'd spun
Even in the summer sun
I could not run
Glistening or faded
[Chorus]
I'm sitting where it all began
I gave up on a promised land
But you were my friend
Aging, now I feel it
It's always slipping through my hands
It wasn't what I thought back then
When beautiful birds were flying
Beautiful birds were flying
Circles in the sky, I'm finding
My way with them
[Verse 2]
Looking at the sky for an opening
Looking for some life on an empty screen
There's violence in the ways I live
Violence on my mind, trace it
So I'm turning on the light when I let you in
I open up my mind with a new question
Now how could you possibly be?
Now what could you possibly need?
Nothing, now I face it
[Chorus]
There's nothing on the other side
I want to live inside your life
With violence on my only mind
When beautiful birds were flying
Beautiful birds were flying
Circles in the sky, I'm finding
My way with them
