lyrics

I talk to birds, they claim I’m the lucky one / They say you fixate on flying, but we just yearn and envy for the way you run / Well if birds, they dream to run, I’m bird in a tree dreaming under the sun / Cause when I think of you, all the crazy beautiful things you do / I get high, I get so high and so I run run / I walk at night, it’s the only time I can hear myself / Digging out ideas from an orchestra of visions that are someone’s else / All our thoughts aren’t are own, we’re just living in an edit room of teleprompts and phones / And the space behind our eyes is a trophy case for Madison Ave designs / So if you don’t check your head, you better run, run / I’ll dream your mind, you can just float off and go blank for some time / I’ll blur the line, between the sapphire goblet and the cellar wine / Stories old, they dry like dirt, you better irrigate if you want earth / When the past has got your hands, you’re a push-over mannequin in a window’s quick sand / So if you dream before you sleep, you better run run, you better run run, run run
