The Bird and the Worm
He wears his heart safety-pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
Just keep walking, just keep walking
Don't tell on me, don't tell on me
Don't tell on me, please
It's okay, don't tell on me, please
Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind (out of his mind)
Midday delusions of pushing this out of his head
May be out of his mind (out of his mind)
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (crawls like a worm)
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(Ah, ooh, ah, ah)
All he knows
If he can't relieve it, it grows
And so it goes (and so it goes)
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
And he crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a...
Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone, he's holding his breath half to death
(Holding his breath half to death)
Terrified, to save his life
He crawls like a worm (he crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (crawls like a worm)
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
Just keep walking, just keep walking
Don't tell on me, don't tell on me
Don't tell on me, please
It's okay, don't tell on me, please
Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind (out of his mind)
Midday delusions of pushing this out of his head
May be out of his mind (out of his mind)
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (crawls like a worm)
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(Ah, ooh, ah, ah)
All he knows
If he can't relieve it, it grows
And so it goes (and so it goes)
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
And he crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a...
Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone, he's holding his breath half to death
(Holding his breath half to death)
Terrified, to save his life
He crawls like a worm (he crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (crawls like a worm)
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
