"Scared Little Birds" lyrics:

So keep your goddam favours in the journal where you write

See I'm closing up the shop, there's nothing left of me inside

and while you're making friendly and your body's near exploding

I'll be staying in tonight for an evening of self-loathing

I burdened you with kisses, used to sadden you with sight

I wasn't strong enough to leave and you weren't weak enough to fight

I guess you think you're slick but there's no sure way of knowing

How you wrap me cozy, tight for an evening of self-loathiing

Are you afraid, like I was so afraid that I was had?

Is it absurd? It feels so fucking good to feel this bad

My friends should entertain me but their stories have run thin

Every character is loyal to the one I knew back when

My eyes they must be burning, their concern is not consoling

So I'll trade them in tonight for an evening of self-loathing

Pretending not to notice in the buzz-kill that ensues

All the worshippers hung over, they were sleeping in the pews

Like frat-boys playing chicken, you were brave until it counted

Going swimming in the dark, now the dark's got us surrounded

Are you afraid, like I was so afraid that I was had?

Is it absurd? It feels so fucking good to feel this bad

Well you know, (despite the fact it ain't true)

One day I'll be fine without you

Find a girl down south, explore her mouth

and I won't thing about you

I could reach you yet

The boldest threat is "I'll forget"

Just maybe I'll tell you I've had it

Slam the door get real dramatic

Hoping you'll be fooled to think that I was sort of charismatic

but my kind clings to words

We clutch our branches like scared little birds
