Birds

All of these birds, all of these birds in my head Swarming around, pecking, they keep me up, and I can't come down All of these words building a house in my head Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up And I can't come down The carnage of the cardinals they haunt me The buzzing of the hummingbirds they knock me The ravens got a carnival that's rocking me Wide-awake like there's nothing at stake 'Cause I was born as perfect as the skies are Head latched open to the Skylark But now my brains a prison for the flight, oh Get out of my head, get out of my head Get out of my head All of these birds, all of these birds in my head Swarming around, pecking They keep me up and I can't come down All of these words building a house in my head Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up And I can't come down The murmurs of the starling song is maddening The murder of the crows is coming at me The ticking of the clock is trying to mock me I'm wide-awake, like there's nothing to say 'Cause I am still the architect of this cage And I send all the raptors on a rampage Begging for a rapture for an escape Get out of my head, get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head I feel the madness wrapping me up here The sun in my eyes It's a beautiful sight I feel the madness wrapping me up here Open the latch let me into the light 'Cause all of these birds, all of these birds in my head Swarming around, pecking They keep me up and I can't come down All of these words building a house in my head Tearing it down, the wreckage is keeping me up And I can't come down
