Aves' Song Lyrics - Clare Bowen

Hollow eyes and empty arms 

A love left on a shelf 

Forgiving all his selfish ways 

But she can't forgive herself 

A lone bird left in a cage 

Found a place inside her mind 

High above the pain she feels 

High enough to find a ledge to take away them tears 

And step away from peace 

She prayed to hit the ground 

Turns out she had wings 

Turns out she could fly 

She held her breath, took that step and opened up her eyes 

She'd given up on her fragile heart 

Hanging by a string 

Gravity was not enough 

Turns out she had wings

Touching down she looked around 

And she didn't recognise 

Shards of glass and shattered past she'd worked so hard to disguise 

She saw herself, an empty shell 

It all came back in flashes 

She washed her hands, let go and rose up from the ashes 

Turns out she had wings 

Turns out she could fly 

She held her breath, took that step and opened up her eyes 

She'd given up on her fragile heart 

Hanging by a string 

Gravity was not enough 

Turns out she had wings 

Gravity was not enough 

Turns out she had wings

Shadows grey below 

Quiet in the light 

Sweet chariots run low 

In the velvet night 

Little candle burning bright 

Turns out she had wings 

Turns out she could fly 

She held her breath, took that step and opened up her eyes 

She'd given up on her fragile heart 

Hanging by a string 

Gravity was not enough 

Turns out she had wings
