Birds Sing

Well hush there'll be no more tonight

You can't work and I can't fight

Well that's just beautiful

But it's the way you hold your breath

That's scarring me to death

Well that's your way, anyway, anyway

Everybody talks

We gotta listen to what they say

Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty

It's a song I give someone else to sing

It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall

And it's the words I hear the birds sing

I don't mean to pry but it's been said

You got Demons in your head

(Screamed: Demons in your head)

I ask real casual

But it's the way I wear my frown

That only helps to bring you down

Well that's my way, anyway, anyway

And everybody talks

We gotta make it make some sense

Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty

It's a song I give someone else to sing

It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall

And it's the words I hear the birds sing

Words I hear the birds sing

Well hush there'll be no more tonight

You can't work and I can't fight

Well that's just beautiful

But it's the way I hold my breath

That's scarring you to death

Well that's our way, anyway, anyway

Well everybody talks

But people rarely say a word

Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty

It's a song I give someone else to sing

It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall

And it's the words I hear the birds sing

Words I hear the birds sing

Words I hear the birds sing

Words I hear the birds sing

Words I hear the birds sing
