Bird is Bored of Flying - Mastersystem

Do you wonder why

The bird is bored of flying

It never asked to be alive

To be a bird

And never cared for heights

And it’s seen the earth

For what it is, the big ball of inconsequence

Still, it sings

There’s such a place as too far

There’s such a thing as too much

And we all want fire until it burns

We all want more until it starts to hurt

Do you wonder why

The bird is bored of flying

Still, it sings

Shoot it down and pull the wings out

I am waiting

Shoot it down with copper bullets

I am waiting

'Cause we all want fire until it burns

'Cause we all want more until it starts to hurt

Here comes the ground again

My concrete safety net

As I leave the sky for the earth, I shed

Shed my feathers and my small net worth

Here comes the ground again

I want less

I want less

I want less

Shoot it down, pull the wings out

I am waiting

Shoot it down with copper bullets

I am waiting

'Cause we all want fire until it burns

'Cause we all want more until it starts to hurt

And I’ve come as far as I can go

Close enough to know

Bird is bored, bird is bored

Bird is bored, bored of flying

I’ve seen all that I care to see

Become what I don’t want to be

Bird is bored, bird is bored

Bored of flying

Bored of flying

Bird is bored, bird is bored

Bored of flying
