All My Birds Are Dead - The Hawkins

Low beneath

I die so slowly

Ain’t it funny how it starts?

Breathing out fire

So fucking loud

I cast the first stone

When Mynah bleeds it out

The tell tale signs are shown

So all you people know

That all my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds

They are dead

But I try to breathe again

I gaze over my shoulder

Till something, just something happens

And I flee the scene

I gotta leave me be

Ain’t it funny how

Nothing is never really about to start?

Because it’s not

No highs, no lows

Just a strange and lonely cannibal

This rear-up-rear-view-mirror

Just keeps on getting bigger

Because all my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

Doesn’t matter where I go to find a friend

Now that all my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

Don’t tell me that things will get better again, no

'Cause all my birds, all my birds, all my birds

They are dead

And after all

Ain’t nothing gonna help me embrace the fall

A curtain call

It’s just the way that it has turned out to be

(Will I ever be happy?)

Walking through the door

Silence is restored

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

And I jump toward the ricochet

‘Cause all my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

Now that the silence is restored again

All my birds are dead, all my birds are dead

Ain’t it funny how nothing’s gonna work again

Now that all my birds are dead, all my birds are dead?

Every note, every word, every song, every friend

A-A-All my birds, all my birds, all my birds, they are dead
