lyrics

Carrying my heart in a plastic bag,
I'm knocking on doors and I'm running away.
I'm chased by an angel with furious eyes,
not a moment of peace and a choir of lies.

I'm trapped in the ashes, I'm waiting to heal,
I'm dreaming of a nightingale lost in a field,
with a beak of wonder and a song of roses.

I'm tired of your firm handshakes, your nodding smiles
and all my spent prayers,
I want to be broken like glass in the street,
like the pounding of feet in the getaway night.

I'm trapped in the ashes, I'm waiting to heal,
I'm dreaming of a nightingale lost in a field,
with a beak of wonder and a song of roses.

I was hoping you could break me out of this dream,
place your hand on my heart and put it to sleep.
But happiness is something that I don't know,
I'm looking for god but I got miles and miles to go.

I'm trapped in the ashes, I'm waiting to heal,
I'm dreaming of a nightingale lost in a field,
with a beak of wonder and a song of roses.
