A Strain in the Delta

Slipping and reeling into another dream
Sliding while grasping onto another seem
The silence below us shapes a thousand leaves
The sirens above us scream a thousand screams

A strain in the delta
I'm a fallen bird
I've lost my wings to a boy with nerve
He says I cannot leave nor will I ever strive
I must atone for all my pride
These catastrophic acts of men
Can't be blamed for all the sin
Is this a cognitive state or a vision of hell
I'm nothing but a solemn bell

Slipping and reeling into another dream
Sliding while grasping onto another seem
The silence below us shapes a thousand leaves
The sirens above us scream a thousand screams
