Am
Little birds born without a mother or a father
I can watch their bodies forming in the running water
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth
EmA hundred altogether within me now
AmLittle bird, little bird come into my body
Am
Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking
Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me
GOpen up my mouth but all you'll ever hear is singing
EmPut you hand within me and you'll know what I'm feeling
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them
Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands a shaking
Look into my eyes and he could see their bodies breaking
GPush me to the floor and in his hands I started beating
I don't want to hear it anymore, he kept repeating
AmDo you really want the burning hell that we believe in?
Am
Did you know the burning hell it took your baby brother?
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer?
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover
EmAnd deep in sin they held each other
AmSo I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in
Knowing God in heaven would have, never could forgive him
G EmSo I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in
Am
Little boy born without a father or a mother
AmTaken to the river and then pushed into the water
And the priests are singing that the hell is getting hotter la la la la la
AmFather, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him
GFrom the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
Am G
And here beneath the water I can see
Em AmHow the lights distort so strange
And I think this is how I would like to leave my body
AmAnd start again
