All My Birds 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

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

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

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

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

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
