lyrics

You weren't there, but I killed a bird.
I killed it. With a stone. I broke its neck and then I broke its heart. It was all alone
Its not the first. I believe I have a curse for birds and broken bones. If it were alive, i'd sing it a lullaby and whisk it back to its home.

Why'd ya fall.. from the tree? Givin' us nothin' but mystery.
So many thoughts for such a little life.
Were you gonna be a husband?
Or a little bird wife?

Decisions made, oh yeah, on the pavement
Did you even know what the grave meant?

I wanna be sad
But i've seen it before.
This time I had to kill.
There was nothing more.

I write this now hoping you hear this,
Havin' a chuckle or shakin' your bird fists,

Your little Bird Fists, what the hell are they?
Puttin' up a fight, like Rocky Bal Bow Eh!

Rocky Balboweh.
