[Verse 1]
The impact rang out
It echoed on my desk
New wings, take flight
The flight came to an end
Neck broken in two
Oh, nightingale
Still, you can see it breathing
My skin, the solution, I want to help

[Chorus]
A window cut short the wish to fly
Yes, for that is me
I’m just like the nightingale
A window that turned into a thief
Put your heel to use
For that nightingale survived

[Verse 2]
What one hears today
“That man has died
Since he was a child
You could see it coming”
What one hears today
Again and again
“The fish hit the ground”
Where is that foot?
A little more haste

[Chorus]
A window cut short the wish to fly
Yes, for that is me
I’m just like the nightingale
A window that turned into a thief
Put your heel to use
For that nightingale survived

[Bridge]
Safe from this cage, and flying
Only to crash into this glass

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
A window served as the final goodbye
For flying without direction
Like a wretched nightingale
A window broke this neck in two
Where is the stomp?
For it survived
It survived
