Birds

All of these birds, all of these birds in my head

Swarming around, pecking, they keep me up, and I can't come down

All of these words building a house in my head

Tearing it down the wreckage that is keeping me up

And I can't come down

The carnage of the cardinals, they haunt me

The buzzing of the hummingbirds, they knock me

The ravens got a carnival that's rocking me

Wide-awake like there's nothing at stake

Cuz I was born as perfect as the skies are

Head last stop in to the Skylark

But now my brains are a prison for the flight, oh

Get out of my head, get out of my head, get out of my head

All of these birds, all of these birds in my head

Swarming around, picking to keep me up and I can't come down

All of these words building a house in my head

Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up

And I can't come down

The murmurs of the starling song is maddening

The murder of the crows is coming at me

The ticking of the clock is trying to mock me

I'm wide-awake, like there's nothing at stake

I am still the architect of this cage

And I set all the raptors on a rampage

Begging for a rapture for an escape

Get out of my head, get out of my head, get out of my head

I feel the madness wrapping me up here

The sun in my eyes it's a beautiful sight

I feel the madness wrapping me up here

Open the latch, let me into the light

Cuz all of these birds, all of these birds in my head

Swarming around, pecking, they keep me up and I can't come down

All of these words building a house in my head, tearing it down

The wreckage is keeping me up

And I can't come down
