Black Feathers

[Verse 1]
Sky full of black feathers when you're dead
Jesus got a horse's head in his bed
This ship's been swallowed by the whale
This snake's been eating his own tail

[Chorus]
I see doubt in your eyes
You want to be back in the womb
Poor mama's boy there just ain't no room

[Verse 2]
Sky full of black feathers when you're gone
No flowers grow where the sun once shone
Father's warm hand won't help you now
The cradle breaks even the largest bough

[Chorus]
I see fear in your eyes
And you can't sleep in the dark
You only hear the raven and the lark

[Bridge]
Locked inside, Locked inside
Locked inside, Locked inside
Locked inside, Locked inside
I swallowed my own key again

Locked inside, Locked inside
Locked inside, Locked inside
Locked inside, Locked inside
I'll never be so free again

[Verse 3]
Sky full of black feathers, wind, and dirt
Chastise yourself but it don't hurt
You feel guilty that you can't smile
Return the man back to the child

[Chorus]
I see nothing in your eyes
Yes it faded long ago
Oh why and when, well no one knows

[Outro]
Oh why and when, well no one knows
Oh why and when, well no one knows
