the blasting company - coal eyed birds lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
under a sunken sky
five coal+eyed birds
huddle in the sallow weeds
cackling at me

[verse2]
and it’s times like these
i hang my head
and wonder why i never try
to fight for myself?

[pre+chorus]
what a grim and gloomy scene
just you, the wind, the dying wheat
friendless, dreaming

you wonder if you’re incomplete
a husk without a grain of seed
and that’s what they see

[chorus]
if they wanna laugh, well now
let them try to do it after
we take to the skies
loom above them like a great cloud
talons quicker than a greyhound
hear their hearts run

[verse 3]
out of all the things
i’ve seen and done
in the back of my worried mind
i’ve never tried one

[verse 4]
maybe this time i
could make them see
they’ve probably never met a threat
as empty as me

[chorus]
if they wanna laugh, well now
can they do it while they beg me
to spare their souls?

funny how they keep singing
little empty bodies leaping
to the snap of their bones

[interlude/post+chorus]
la+la+la+la+la+la
la+la+la+la+laa+la
la+la+la+laa
laa+la+la+la+laa+laa

[laughing that morphs into wailing as “la’s” continue in the background]
(la+la+la+la+laa+laa
la+la+la+la)

under a sunken sky
two coal+eyed birds
huddle in flattened wheat
staring up at me
