lyrics

Harmless wings
Mother with the broken eggs
Garden singer
You built a nest for everything
Sharpened beak
I heard you in the early spring
Eyes so deep
You could have shown me anything

They shoot mourning doves
For less than this my love
And now they’ve trained their sights on us.

It’s open season
In this place we call(ed) our home
Every glance a bullet,
Every kiss draws blood
And though you know it isn’t safe
Every night we lay awake
Hoping that the day
Will bring a resolution.

They shoot mourning doves
For less than this my love
And now they’ve trained their sights on us.
There’s not much meat
But for convenience sake they come
Here to train their sights on us…
