Verse 1
I was wakened late the other night, 
there was a bird trapped in my heart
I tried to open up and let it out, 
before it tore my chest apart

I tossed and turned and prayed for it to stop, 
I scratched my face and tore my sheets
But I was way to late my heart was gone, 
and in its place these bird wings beat

Verse 2
I was wakened from a day to day dream, 
there was a bird trapped in my mind
I tried to open up and let it out, 
but there was no use in trying

And where I once had a head full of thought, 
with happiness and daily things
There is only strange darkness now, 
and in the darkness this bird sings

Oh, ballerina where have you gone,

I've been dreaming of you, 
since the day you were born
