The Bird and the Worm (instrumental) Lyrics

He wears his heart safety-pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind
Midday delusions are pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind, out of his mind

All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life, he crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird
All he knows, if he can't relieve it, it grows
And so it goes, he crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must have been out of his mind
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone, he's holding his breath half to death
Terrified, to save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
