lyrics

little lark peeked into the dark
and said, i hate the sun it burns my wings
i want to howl, to make love to the owl
i want to do vagrant dusky things

but to be the warp and weft
is to leave yourself bereft
leave yourself with nothing left to use
to dust off your own shoes once again

i was told i was something to behold
and where i flew the light would follow me
but this job’s been done, there’s a million other suns,
and there’s a lot of girls named emily

and if you took their bones
and removed them from their homes
i wouldn’t find my own among the rest
i’d be fooled by my own chest once again

little lark peeked into the dark
and said, i hate the sun it burns my wings
it hurts to mourn, oh it hurts to be born
it hurts to learn what’s in between

and when the lessons come
they won’t wait for you to run
they’ll be aiming fast their gun against your chest
and with their bullets you’ll be blessed once again
