"Tell me what you need from me" she whispers between the silence I can't stand to see her lungs breathe So take me where I can't find them Birds will build their nests above and we all sit below them Grab your things and grab your coat And I'll lock the door behind you, you know I will You know I will If I built a nest of steel and placed it on a mountain And I covered it with grace and zeal Would you you climb to meet me there? Grab a hold of shaky rock and trust the vines to lead you Past the safety of the roots of trees Towards the sun-lit canopy? A sturdy nest lays vacant though God Himself provided There is fear of death and fear is strong enough To keep our nests on the ground On the ground A bitter stem comes bursting forth past an old abandoned mansion There was wealth, success, and beauty there But time will always win A gripping force has got me by the neck, my sword is broken Grab your things and grab your coat And I'll lock the door behind you, you know I will You know I will You know I will You know I will You know I will You know I will
