[Intro]
AmDe-dFe-dAme-deF Em
[Verse 1]
AmLittle birds born without a mother or a father
AmI can feel their feathers forming in the running water
GNow there is another in the middle of my mouth
EmA hundred all together inside of me now
[Verse 2]
AmLittle birds little birds come into my body
AmMother they're within me every moment I'm awaking
AmBodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me
GPut your ears up to my mouth and you can hear them singing
EmPut your hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling
[Verse 3]
AmI just want to swallow up and promise to protect them
AmDaddy come towards me I can see his hands were shaking
AmPut his hands against me you could feel their bodies breaking
GPush me to the floor and put his hands up for a beating
EmI don't want to hear it anymore he kept repeating
AmDo you really want the burning hell to come and get you
AmAhhhFh Am F Em
[Verse 4]
AmDid you see the burning hell that took your baby brother
AmDid you see how far he fell and how he made him suffer
GAnother boy in town at night he took him for his lover
GAnd Emdeep in sin they held each other
[Verse 5]
AmSo I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in
AmKnowing god had never know could never could forgive him
AmSo I took a hammer nearly beat his little braGins in Em
AmLittle boy born without a mother or a father
AmTaken to the river and then pushed into the water
GAnd the priest is singing that the hell was getting hotter
EmLa-la-la-la-la
[Verse 6]
AmOthers sung all the ghosts the only ones to save him
AmFrom the thing he loves the most but we know we'll betray him
AmFor the son and holy ghost the only ones to saGve him Em
[Bridge]
AmAnd heal beneath the Gwater I can see
EmHow the light distorts so Amstrange
And this is how IG would like to leave my Embody
And start aAmgain
AmAhhhGhh Em
[Outro]
