Flying Turtles Over Me (Ft. the Reverend)
By Duchess Of The Damned · Alternative Metal
Six hundred pounds of patience
I watch them come, a rusted railing
Slow circles on the concrete
Where the smoke turns thin and pale
My mother said the world was built for things that cannot heave the ground
But I saw shells above the chimneys turning slow without a sound
(Fly) high
(Fly) high
Nothing holds a thing that wants to fly
Turtles flying over me
Turtles flying over me
Under wings in ancient eyes
Everybody's in the sky
Turtles flying over me
They never asked for feathers
Just a crack inside the air
A seam that opened quietly for the ones too slow to care
A hammer caught upon our shoulders, stitched a canvas to my spine
If something that unhurried can't escape, then so can my
(Fly) high
(Fly) high
Nothing holds a thing that wants to fly
Turtles flying over me
Turtles flying over me
Under wings in ancient eyes
Everybody's in the sky
Turtles flying over me
Older than the water
Slower than the tide
Stubborn as a gravestone
