Sparrow by Terrible Love Lyrics
You measure your greed in empty bellies
A conscience stained by many
No price too high no depth too low
Fuck what you've done to my home
I can't recognise the roads
Where we ran and played
All I see is hives for the drones
And those who stayed all alone
Why stay, run away
I've tried, but I'm afraid
Because if I blink it will fade
So I'll suffer and I'll stay
I think you must hate all I held dear to me
My childhood priced and displayed
Painted grey just to please
And what you've done to my nest, in the name of this progress
Can't be undone can't be changed
So burn it down and start again
Dragging feet slow me down
And baseless fear turned me around
Because if I blink it will fade
So I'll suffer and I'll stay
Burn it down and start again
A conscience stained by many
No price too high no depth too low
Fuck what you've done to my home
I can't recognise the roads
Where we ran and played
All I see is hives for the drones
And those who stayed all alone
Why stay, run away
I've tried, but I'm afraid
Because if I blink it will fade
So I'll suffer and I'll stay
I think you must hate all I held dear to me
My childhood priced and displayed
Painted grey just to please
And what you've done to my nest, in the name of this progress
Can't be undone can't be changed
So burn it down and start again
Dragging feet slow me down
And baseless fear turned me around
Because if I blink it will fade
So I'll suffer and I'll stay
Burn it down and start again
