"The Feather Test" Lyrics

The Feather Test by A Weather
We lost a couple years like a Christmas box

crushed under the weight of standing still

I'm serious there's no way you could be forgot

the birds remember how to come home

Your laughter from the basement now is fading out

the earthquake like a giant passing truck

If I lose everything then I lose you

but I'll lose all the really bad things too

I don't feel so alive tonight

the lightest things feel very heavy

And you want to find a hedgehog friend

you're talking like a girl again

takes a lot to make you feel tempted

It takes a lot of quills (I will I will)

It takes a lot to make you cry (I will I will)

Like a ghost without a throat

held still until

He won't feel so killed

You get stuck

move if you can

Bread in your hand

hungry looks can hardly stand

I guess I

feel a bit lost without you

A mitten thumb stuck

in your belt hook

Oh, believe me

I will have no more of thee

I'm gonna drive you far away from me

I'm gonna fly right through the walls (Don't be scared at all)

I'm gonna float above your bed (I will I will)

I'm gonna kiss you on your head (But you won't know)

You'll just feel

a little wind instead

In your dream I'm noticing the way she sits

But tonight I'm letting you drive

If you want to touch me just a little bit

you better use your smallest left hand

I'm shaking like a candlelight

Blow me out alright already

I get gone on whiskey and cocaine

cough syrup and codeine

Watch me move like nothing you've seen

Brush your hand

across where you felt me

Do I pass the feather test?

Is there any hope for me?

Oh, believe me

I will have no more of thee

I'm gonna drive you far away from me

It takes a lot of faith

to know

to know

if the caught will stay (I will I will)

??

Takes a lot of God's will (I will I will)

It takes a lot of quills (until you know)

Like a hedgehog by his will

I lost a couple years like a Christmas box

When you were sober you

felt better somehow
