[Intro: DK]
Painting black on a white body
Imagining another flight
[Verse 1: DK]
Making small flaps
When everyone applauds
It feels like I own the world
But still, trapped within a small cage
A small white bird
Tries to live, insisting on its own way
[Refrain: DK]
Like birds crying on tree branches
Like stars outside the window that are free
Even if I prepare to spread wings and fly, oh
With the flapping of feathers
I'm unable to see ahead
Screaming into the reality
Of being trapped in a small cage
[Pre-Chorus: DK]
Maybe it would have been better not to know
My own tender mistakes
Being told that my small, white self is pretty
Now it's time to erase it all
[Chorus: DK]
Maybe we're just the same
Not small crows but
I'm restless to fly high
Dripping with black-dyed feathers
Crying out like a small bird
[Post-Chorus: DK]
Painting black on a white body
Imagining another flight
Painting black on white feet
Once again, raising the claws
[Verse 2: Punch]
Wearing a colorful feather coat
Spreading rainbows in the sky
I build a house above the clouds
Leaning into the wind
Dreaming all night
Wiping away the tears flowing black
I hate how vivid
The faded tear stains become
[Pre-Chorus: DK, DK & Punch]
Maybe it would have been better not to know
My own tender mistakes
Being told that my small, white self is pretty
Now it's time to erase it all
[Chorus: DK & Punch]
Maybe we're just the same
Not small crows but
I'm restless to fly high
Dripping with black-dyed feathers
Crying out like a small bird
[Post-Chorus: Punch]
Painting black on a white body
Imagining another flight
Painting black on white feet
Once again, raising the claws
