"Broken Birds (Rest In Pieces)" lyrics
"Broken Birds (Rest In Pieces)"
Lying on the floor
Shattered ceramics
There was so much of you to pick up
Halloween plans
Smashed by September
There were so many pieces to pick up on
On the floor
You were so connected
To the man sleeping under the table
On the other side of the continent
When you lost your content
A stillborn beauty
Is ghosting around in my head
Your busted brains
I would tenderly tuck into bed
Maybe your parents gave you a Lego set in middle school
Maybe the kids in class smashed it to pieces
Maybe they poured glue on your pet tarantulas
Maybe they got stuck to each other and tore themselves apart
I want my girls to save me
Want them to burst in when the dagger's at my neck
I want my love to redeem me, let these killers finally see me
I feel it growing in me at the brink of death
Summon Doraemon
Protector of innocents
If you let them see you naked
You can get a ride home
(Danae receiving Jupiter in a shower of sulphuric acid)
A thief
(Some young god)
Stole the ending to this book
(Tore the canvas into shreds)
And left us gibberish
(Bleeding paint)
Ancient Greek letters
(Call you saint for a reason)
Just another crossed out character
(What do you want?)
I want my girls to save me
Want them to burst in when the dagger's at my neck
I want my love to redeem me, let these killers finally see me
I feel it growing in me at the brink of death
I want my girls to save me
Want them to burst in when the dagger's at my neck
I want my love to redeem me, let these killers finally see me
I feel it growing in me at the brink of death
I want my girls to save me
I want my girls to save me
I want my girls to save me
I want my girls to save me
I want my girls...
I'll scatter
I'll scatter like birds
I'll go everywhere
I'll scatter
I'll scatter like birds
I'll go everywhere

And bite off fingers and eat from piles
And someone's knocking
All things spit towards and stutter at you
Closer and closer until the whole city falls...
The Microphones - "The Glow Pt. 2" I took my shirt off in the yard
No one saw that the skin on my shoulders was golden
Now it's not
My shirt's back on
I forgot my songs
The glow is gone
My gliding body stopped
I could not get through...

Gorgeous sight
Gorgeous soul to defeat me
Frozen my legs at the touch of the mouth
And the heart

Infinitely full of your sweetness

From outside the wooden door
