Shapeshifting Lyrics

If i could be lover or mother
Spheres and charms and aching arms
Holding and unfolding

I would be warmth and spring
A flooding creek and
Bells ringing, ringing, ringing
But i'm shapeshifting

Feathers push from my skin
I'm trickster again
Bird of prey has moved in me
Like a splinter

Despite myself i grow thinner
Guarding my nest through
The darkened winter, winter, winter
But i'm shapeshifting

Creature of change
It's me who unveins
A-choking on tethers and weather, no
Invading my veins
Replacing my name
'til i become you
And i'm shapeshifting
