"The King Of All Birds" lyrics
"The King Of All Birds"
Look out, look out
Here I come now, fists out
I'm a fighter bird
I'm a Harrier hawk, a wild flock
I keep time by the city clock
When the moon is steady, I'll find you
I'm not lucky and I'm not scared
There could be goldmine anywhere
Anyone that I might want in this world
They're asleep in the arms of another girl
Who will they be when the lights come up?
Everyone that I ever loved in my life
Now calls somebody else their wife
Who am I to you?
Get up, get up
Get it together and climb on up
To the top of the tree
I'm an owl now, a lonely owl
Who, who, where, what, why, when?
How the hell did I get this far without you?
Pull my feathers one by one
Put 'em in your pocket when I'm gone
Anyone that I might want in this world
They're asleep in the arms of another girl
Who will they be when the lights come up?
Everyone that I've ever loved in my life
Now calls somebody else their wife
Who am I to you?
Who am I to you? Am I just anyone?
Who am I to you? Am I just anyone?
Am I the only one?
Come on, come on
Put me back together, let me soldier on
I'm the king of it all
I'm a little wren, I'm happiest when
I hitch a ride on the wing of a friend
Looking down on everything then
When the road gets weary, love
Remember who I'm dreaming of

The Wild Reeds - "Fall To Sleep" We rise up late again
The mornings when the truth really seeps in

As my mind span around the room that day
But I watched you leave instead

Joshua Burnside - "Tunnels, Pt. 2" I thought I knew a way out, new a way out
Of these tunnels carved under a mountain of doubt
