"two birds of the same stone"

you and me, darling,
we are two birds of the same stone
flocked a little too close together - we
were laid out in one shot
by a flying rock

here we lie now, dazed
with our feathers splayed,
seeing tiny stars spin
'round our heads
in shock

in our tiny minds
in our little stunned brains,
we're beginning to see
that we won't again
be fine.

As our shallow breaths race
and our dark closes around
after all we believed in - was that rock

our fate?
