Feathered, crowned and forgotten,
raised up, let down.
It's been so long since we were anything
why don't we let it lie?

I feel like I'm dying here, but I don't know what I need.
It's killing me to be here, and it would kill me to leave.

Feathered, crowned and forgotten,
raised up, then let down.
It's been so long since we were anything
why don't we let it lie?

If I don't save you now, who's going to save you?
If I don't hold you down, who's going to hold you?

Feathered, crowned and forgotten,
raised up and let down.
It's been so long since we were anything
why don't we let it lie?

You and i are like a picture of a train;
It's never moving, but we know it's supposed to be
so we try to believe -- please believe-- that I tried.

Feathered, drowned and forgotten.
I know I raised you up, I never meant to shoot you down.
it's been so long since I felt anything,
why don't we let it lie?
Please don't let me lie.
Why can't I let it die?
