Murder of Birds

i'm not a bird

i'm a murder of birds

shifting my shape

when your tongue finds the words

like i hate you when i

love you the most

love you the most

love you the most

this shape of a snake

in a defensive coil

same retracted lips

of the one foolish girl

says she hates you when she

loves you the most

loves you the most

loves you

and i've got demons when i need 'em

don't ask to see them they're not

supposed to be used against

you oh

can we build a safe house

far from the bitter bride

and we'll make a home with a brown recluse

and the cobra locked outside

for the spider we'll give a web

to the cobra a lullaby

and keeping the demons happy

you make free for me to fly

and the shape of home baked bread

and the girl in a turned down bed

in a wake of twisted thread

from the loving words you said

birds

and i think i'm alone

in desire for graves

fire only shimmered

and i'm no longer safe

i say i hate you and i

love you the most

love you the most

love you the most

this shape of my breast

and a shape of my kiss

demented coil

with a slither and hiss

said i hate you and i

love you the most

love you the most

love you

and i've got demons

when i need 'em

don't ask to see them theyre not

supposed to be used against

you oh

can we build a safe house

far from the bitter bride

and we'll make a home with a brown recluse

and the cobra locked outside

to the spider we'll give a web

to the cobra a lullaby

and keeping the demons happy

you make free for me to fly

and the shape of home baked bread

and the girl in a turned down bed

in a wake of twisted thread

from the loving words you said

the shape of home baked bread

and the girl in a turned down bed

in a wake of twisted thread

from the loving words you said

'cause i'm not a bird

i'm a murder of birds
