Murder of Birds Lyrics
I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape
When your tongue finds the wordsLike I hate you when I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the mostThis shape of a snake
In a defensive coil
Same retracted lips
Of the one foolish girlSays she hates you when she
Loves you the most
Loves you the most
Loves youAnd Ive got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You ohCan we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outsideFor the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to flyAnd the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
BirdsAnd I think Im alone
In desire for grace
Fire only shimmered
And Im no longer safeI say I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the mostThis shape of my breast
And a shape of my kiss
Demented coil
With a slither and hissSaid I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love youAnd Ive got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You ohCan we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outsideTo the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to flyAnd the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you saidThe shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said'Cause Im not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
