lyrics

So many beautiful things that I couldn’t leave behind
Turned from loves to weights and shackles in my mind
So I walked the nights alone along the wire
Left behind by the birds who could fly
Time after time I would balance on the line
And watch the skies for angels taking flight
I listened to the stillness for the signs
Of the music of the creatures of the night

All I want is to be sad
And free the feeling I once had
Better feeling broken bruised and small
Than never feeling anything at all

So far away I forgot my name
They found me shaking naked in the rain
They said that I that I was insane
Gave me some pills and had me put away
Left in a bed to lay with no hope for escape
Ceiling grating dripping kept me blessedly awake
Still I could hear it just beyond my sight
Shadows of the music of the creatures of the night

All I want is to be sad
And free the feeling I once had
Better feeling broken bruised and small
Than never feeling anything at all

Now from this hole I try to fly
I try to fly but they clipped my wings
The angels left me long ago alone
Far away in search of brighter things
Now the hollow years remain
As unfamiliar stains
The sadless haze now fades
And I can finally feel the pain
Released into the light
I hide my secret from all sight
The memories of the music
Of the creatures of the night
