Black Feathers

[Verse 1]

Sky full of black feathers when you're dead

Jesus got a horse's head in his bed

This ship's been swallowed by the whale

This snake's been eating his own tail

[Chorus]

I see doubt in your eyes

You want to be back in the womb

Poor mama's boy there just ain't no room

[Verse 2]

Sky full of black feathers when you're gone

No flowers grow where the sun once shone

Father's warm hand won't help you now

The cradle breaks even the largest bough

[Chorus]

I see fear in your eyes

And you can't sleep in the dark

You only hear the raven and the lark

[Bridge]

Locked inside, Locked inside

Locked inside, Locked inside

Locked inside, Locked inside

I swallowed my own key again

Locked inside, Locked inside

Locked inside, Locked inside

Locked inside, Locked inside

I'll never be so free again

[Verse 3]

Sky full of black feathers, wind, and dirt

Chastise yourself but it don't hurt

You feel guilty that you can't smile

Return the man back to the child

[Chorus]

I see nothing in your eyes

Yes it faded long ago

Oh why and when, well no one knows

[Outro]

Oh why and when, well no one knows

Oh why and when, well no one knows
