8. Toucan's Deepest Cut

[Intro] Beak in the mirror Paint on the mask Feathers still flicker Past on my back [Verse 1] Perch on the wire Colors too bright for this sky Laugh turning quieter Guess every joke has a why Tiny drum of my pulse Tapping the branch like a code Wings hold a secret Too sharp Too heavy to show [Pre-Chorus] All these shades Stacked on my skin Every scar Tucked under tint If I peel Every layer I’ve got Will I fall Or finally drop? [Chorus] Toucan’s deepest cut Right under the color Past all the shine Where the rain runs darker Peel back the paint Hear my hollow thud You only ever loved The bright Not the blood [Drop] [crescendo] [otherworldly vocal chop Pitch-bent] Cut-cut-cut (fall, fall) [sub hits Warped bass swarms] Fea-thers Sha-ters Gravity scatters [Verse 2] Branch starts to splinter Still I hang on with a grin Joke in my beak Tasting the iron within Crowd wants a rainbow I’m spitting black and gold dust One last bright cackle Then silence Then trust [Pre-Chorus] All these shades Spilling like ink Every laugh Closer to brink If I bleed Every color you want Will you stay Or watch me haunt? [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Strip the sheen Hear the crack [whispered vocals] Every laugh Talking back Face the fall Leave the gloss I am more Than what you lost [Chorus]
