New Bird
There's a new bird at my window
It wasn't there before
The other one's not singing anymore
Scores of demons have been fading
Slowly through the night
They melt into the walls and out of sight
Oh my family split in two
When my dad after the war
Said he didn't worship with his parents anymore
He kept flying back from school
Still trying to be a decent son
But when he knocked on their front door
They wouldn't come
All the rules you hold to
They're only there to numb you
So you don't ask a question when you feel
If every non-believer is a non-receiver
There's a reason right there
To raise your hand
Fifty years later and we met them
Though I wish them well
It's strange they think I'm going straight to hell
There's a new bird at my window
It wasn't there before
The other one's not singing anymore
It wasn't there before
The other one's not singing anymore
Scores of demons have been fading
Slowly through the night
They melt into the walls and out of sight
Oh my family split in two
When my dad after the war
Said he didn't worship with his parents anymore
He kept flying back from school
Still trying to be a decent son
But when he knocked on their front door
They wouldn't come
All the rules you hold to
They're only there to numb you
So you don't ask a question when you feel
If every non-believer is a non-receiver
There's a reason right there
To raise your hand
Fifty years later and we met them
Though I wish them well
It's strange they think I'm going straight to hell
There's a new bird at my window
It wasn't there before
The other one's not singing anymore
