A Lot Like Birds
No Nature
I say the devil runs this hole
And hides his subjects wisely
We won't be waiting
We won't be waiting
Oh please. (Give it up!)
Don't use your spells on me. (Give it up! Do your worst!)
Disruption, the séance, a curse upon all of us
An addiction to chaos? I can relate
Kinda got the same damn problem myself
Away from the furnace it feels like a vague supernatural strain
Get closer baby! It's like the real flame!
How long can you hold in your breath for?
Long enough to fan out the fumes?
Who is it you're saving your best for?
And is he showing up soon?
To show you that all prayers fall on deaf ears
Best to save the fresh air
And hey, who can blame you for wishing? (Give it up!)
Hope's probably the last thing any of us can take from you. (Stop!)
But we'll get there eventually. We take everything
Why'd you even come back in the first place? (Turn! Back!)
This isn't your home anymore. It's mine. It's ours. (Leave.)
My tangled knots are wound so tight they never untie
My mangled tongue's a mother birthing nothing but lies
My prodigy's in the dark with no need for eyes
Hold on, watch your step when you're walking down
Don't want to wake anyone
Everything you lost watches closely
Don't go far from the stairs
Oh, when will it be all over?
Will you let me leave when it's over?
I know you're not superstitious but you might just want to give it a try
Cross your heart and pray to die now! Knock on wood, turn off the lights now!
Put your skin where I can taste it! Come on down, we're in the basement!
Oh god, someone save us from us!
Pacing back and forth, pacing back and forwards
Words fill up the space, words fill up the spaces
Is there any way, is there any way in?
In or out's the same, in or out's the same place
Home can be such a terrible place
When they won't let you leave
When you don't have the means
If I die in my sleep, will I dream before I do?
And live this one final night in my desolate room
The room inside my head, ceilingless, fulfilling
If God can grant me this, then I might just go willing
