Текст песни Shards, Pt. I: Birds (Scardust) с переводом

What lies beyond the door?

Sights that I have seen before

Urges I’ve been searching for

Can’t reach them anymore

And birds outside my window

Shards of childhood memories

Through the window on the wall

I look down, afraid to fall

The shadow lays there tall

Scared I’ll lose my soul

And birds outside my window

Shards of childhood memories

Though I still wait for gravity to stop and set me free

I remember my mother’s tears as she wept upon my bed

My child, she said to me, trouble lies ahead

Now that voice starts to dissipate, so hard to recognize

A silluohette of what once was dims before my weary eyes

And a voice calls to me from inside

Must I live this miserable life?

Mockingbird sings my lullaby and then flies to another land

Leaving me with teardrops and feathers in my hand

I see the sun and the ocean far away and shining bright

And make them a promise that someday I will take my flight

And a voice calls to me from inside

Must I live this miserable life?

Who’s that tapping on my door?

Just a shadow on the floor

Where are you? I implore

Can’t sense my soul no more

And birds outside my window

Shards of fading memories

Yet I still wait for gravity to stop and set me free
