Relegated to the minor leagues
The Fallen Birds picked daisies in the field
But understanding their devotion to this craft
And cherishing the power that they yield
You’ve gotta look on past the rats and cats
Pedestrian, shitty days, the way they scramble
When you throw a piece of meat their way expecting nothing else but play
And making life way too much to handle
Show up to the silence, never in the distance
Right below your feet, right below where you stand
Doesn’t take a moment, doesn’t take a second
Doesn’t take the money you’ve been spendin’
To rectify and codify and dignify your eyes
And levitate with two feet off the ground
But hovering an inch at twenty three or seventy
Is better than the ecstasy they peddle by the mound
Ava’s getting off second shift
And making room to think and feel and know
Forget and grow, admit to the static
But in this space, she’s glowing
‘Cause Levi’s spitting out the door
One track only, to the ticket station
To go and go and go and never know
The life that he disrupts refusing to
Show up to the silence, never in the distance
Right below your feet, right below where you stand
Doesn’t take a moment, doesn’t take a second
Doesn’t take the money you’ve been spendin’
To rectify and codify and dignify your eyes
And levitate with two feet off the ground
But hovering an inch at twenty three or seventy
Is better than the ecstasy they peddle by the mound
