Little birds born without a mother or a father | |
I can watch their bodies forming in the running water | |
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth | |
100 all together within me now | |
Little bird little bird come into my body | |
Mother they're within me every moment I'm awaking | |
Bodies multiplying till they finally overtake me | |
Open up my mouth but all you'll ever hear is singing | |
Put your hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling | |
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them | |
Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands are shaking | |
Look into my eyes and he can see their bodies breaking | |
Push me to the floor and then his hands started beating | |
I don't want to hear it anymore he kept repeating | |
Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in? | |
Do you know the burning hell it took your baby brother? | |
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? | |
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover | |
And deep in sin they held each other. | |
So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in | |
Knowing god in heaven would've never could forgive him | |
So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in. | |
Little boy born without a father or a mother | |
Taken to the river and then pushed into the water | |
Now the priest is singing that the hell is getting hotter | |
Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him | |
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him | |
Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him | |
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him | |
And here beneath the water I can see how the lights distort so strange | |
And I think this is how I would like to leave my body and start again. |
