lyrics

In your dream
You're becoming a bird
The first of its kind
You're alone in the world
Everybody knows other people's dreams are too boring to read
So it's only polite that you hide your transformative need
Then one day, you'll fly out the window and sing
And all your friends will say you've betrayed them again
That's what you've done now
Archaeopteryx

In the wild,
You'll fail for not changing
In this life
They'll fail you for changing
Everyone knows someone who waits to make sure that you're stained
With the paint that stays on even after you've made your own name
But one day
The trees will be filled with your song
And dead things
Can never admit they were wrong
Take it across the world
Archaeopteryx
Take it across the world
Archaeopteryx
