lyrics

it's midnight for maladies
when the heart holds no melody
like the rarest bird you've ever seen
we all collect calamity
a mountain from your darkest dream

songbird, knows not the song
of which it sings
intellectual armories
no trumpet sounds for retreat
we've all suffered greater agonies
before we learnt the words to speak

let down your arms and lift up your wings
out of the woods and lost in the trees
we'll race our own shadows survive our own battles
let the whole mess unravel love for what matters
let down your arms and lift up your wings
out of the woods and lost in the trees
we'll race our own shadows survive our own battles
let the whole mess unravel love for what matters

the science of ornithology
disconcerting formalities
here's to the men who escaped gravity
far above the canopy
across the continents and above the seas
the rarest bird you've ever seen

let down your arms and lift up your wings
out of the woods and lost in the trees
we'll race our own shadows survive our own battles
let the whole mess unravel love for what matters
let down your arms and lift up your wings
out of the woods and lost in the trees
we'll race our own shadows survive our own battles
let the whole mess unravel love for what matters
