All My Birds Are Dead by The Hawkins Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 3]
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
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 3]
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
