So it's true what they say, if you love someone you should

So it's true what they say, if you love someone you should set them free. It's true what they say, we went and threw it away.

Format by destabilise. THREE WHOLE WORDS AND EIGHT LETTERS LATE AND THAT WOULD'VE WORKED ON ME YESTERDAY. WE'RE NOT THE SAME, I WISH THAT COULD CHANGE, BUT IT CAN'T.
WE ATE THE BIRDS. We ate them. We wanted their songs to flow up through our throats and burst out of our mouths, and so we ate them. We wanted their feathers to bud from our flesh. We wanted their wings, we wanted to fly as they did, soar freely among the treetops and the clouds, and so we ate them. We speared them, we clubbed them, we tangled their feet in glue, we netted them, we spitted them, we threw them onto hot coals, and all for love, because we loved them. We wanted to be one with them. We wanted to hatch out of clean, smooth, beautiful eggs, as they did, back when we were young and agile and innocent of cause and effect, we did not want the mess of being born, and so we crammed the birds into our gullets, feathers and all, but it was no use, we couldn’t sing, not effortlessly as they do, we can’t fly, not without smoke and metal, and as for the eggs we don’t stand a chance. We’re mired in gravity, we’re earthbound. We’re ankle-deep in blood, and all because we ate the birds, we ate them a long time ago, when we still had the power to say no.
