A Strange Bird - Series of Nouns Lyrics

Can you see the difference in me
Feels like my light's been fading consistently
For a day, for a week for a while at least

Something's off, something's gone, something's wrong, something's missing in me

Can you feel the distance in my soul
It's been a long long time since I've been home
And I don't mean the place where I was born, no

Well I'm not sure why I'm hurting
But I know it's been hell lately
Well I've narrowed it down to a series of nouns
Can't figure out if it's a person, this place or something

One of the three... must be killing me

They say you never know what your giving up 'til it's gone
They say you forfeit it all when you fail to fight for what you want
So choose your battles wisely, choose your words with care
Fell the bad(ness) shit lightly and let down your hair

And howl at the moon, 'til the clouds are gone
And dance like your hearts never been stepped on

Well I hear voices in my dreams
Telling me to be free
I ain't found freedom yet
It's getting harder and harder the older that I get
