Lyrics:

I loved you like a meteor, it cannot change its path

It's peeled by speed and fire, just kamikaze ash

Like dust on dust we follow, no cradle for regard

No grave to bury sorrow in, no arrows in our hearts

Yet bleeding mild forgiveness confessions did not earn

Whispered to the witnesses all waiting for their turn

I get tired of tired, awakened by the weight

Of the common human state

And the metaphor blackbird on fire

On soft mahogany

Doesn't carry any key

Like a bead inside a barrel I'll be burned before I'm free

Like a universal soldier I'm my own worst enemy

And I have tamed the tide of failure, I have turned the looking glass

I have harvested the future and I've paralyzed the past

And with one eye closed I'm folding to a recent memory

When that universal soldier meant everything to me

I get tired of tired, awakened by the weight

Of the common human state

And the metaphor blackbird on fire

On soft mahogany

Doesn't carry any key
