"It makes sense that it should happen this way- That the sky should break, and the earth should shake. As if to say: Sure, it all matters... but in such an unimportant way. As if to say: Fly away, sweet bird of prey... Fly, fly away, Nothing can stand in your way. Sweet bird, if you knew the words, I know you'd say: fly, fly away. / It makes sense that it should hurt in this way- That my heart should break, and my hands should shake. As if to say: Sure, it don't matter... except in the most important way. As if to say: Fly away, sweet bird of prey... Fly, fly away, I won't stand in your way. Sweet bird, if you knew the words, I know that you'd say: fly, fly away. / It makes sense that it should feel just this way- That you slowly fade, and yet still remain. As if to say: Everything matters in such an invisible way. As if to say: It's okay. Fly... away..." -Poe
