lyrics

BLUEBIRD
Grey’s the way, I see the world today
Grey as the lead I’m drowning under
Turn out the sun, let it end as it’s begun
Tear it all asunder

But blue as the cornflowers in spring
Is the bluebird in my heart that wants to sing

Well I’ll rip it apart, I’m gonna wring its tiny neck
For being there and staying strong
For the no reprieve, and the on and on
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing
I can’t breathe, let alone sing
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing another song

Black the sludge, my insides are made of
Scratch the surface and it oozes
Don’t come near, this is sticky stuff my dear
And you won’t win, everybody loses

But blue as the cornflowers in spring
Is this little bluebird in my heart that longs to sing

Well I’ll rip it apart, I’m gonna wring its tiny neck
For being there and staying strong
For the no reprieve, and the on and on
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing
I can’t breathe, let alone sing
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing another song

Red, red, fire in my head
Melting lead, bring on the carnage
Then back to black, cold as stone that won’t be cracked
Surveying the damage

But blue as the cornflowers in spring
Is the bluebird in my heart that longs to sing

Well I’ll rip it apart, I’m gonna wring its tiny neck
For being there and staying strong
For the no reprieve, and the on and on
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing another song
When I can’t breathe, let alone sing another song
I can hardly breathe, let alone sing another song
