Hawk in the Nest

from Preservation by Avi Jacob

lyrics

Oh to be a hawk in the nest
Spend all day hunting
come home to your breast
I don't mind fighting
It's better than fear
We could really breathe up there

There's nothing left to gain
Still I'm drawn to you, like a moth to a flame who's a glutton for pain
When I just want a love
Who can call out my name

Oh to be a worm in the dirt
I'm tired of telling lies
to cover up this hurt
I wouldn't mind dying if I lived honestly
At home underground
Like a fish in the sea

You've got nothing else to say
Staying at your phone to distract
From the pain ,
those are words on a screen
I need your love to be here with me

Oh to be a clear mountain spring
Deep in the heart of every living thing
Oh let me be the teardrops
That roll down your face
Or the muscle and bone
That keep everything in place
