**Title: "Glass Birds"** **Verse 1** The moon hung low like an unopened letter, Its silver seal untouched by dawn. I filled my pockets with white feathers, Yet every bird had already flown. The river learned my borrowed name, Then carried it beyond the reeds. The trees kept growing toward the heavens, While roots were swallowing my feet. **Pre-Chorus** Some winters bloom beneath the skin, Where no spring ever dares begin. **Chorus** I planted oceans in a paper cup, Waiting for tides that never rose. I wore eclipses like a crown of light, No one noticed they were shadows. If I become another constellation, Don't search the sky for where I shine. Look for the flower growing through the stone— That's where you'll find what's left of mine. **Verse 2** A lighthouse dreamed of being darkness, So ships could finally trust the stars. The wind collected broken hourglasses, Scattering time across the grass. Every mirror swallowed faces, Leaving only empty frames. Even the rain forgot its language, Falling without calling names. **Bridge** A candle asked the night, *"Must I disappear to prove I burned?"* The night just smiled... And became the morning. **Final Chorus** I folded sunsets into cranes of gold, Released them where the silence sleeps. Perhaps the sky remembers every wing The earth was never meant to keep. When every mountain turns to sand, And every sea forgets the shore, Maybe love is just the echo Of doors that never needed walls. **Outro** The stars were never falling. They were only returning To the places Where light is born.
