lyrics

I chase these birds away from here
Paper folded three times, see
Lifting and waking so early
The daylight is outside
The mattress is over the glass
in the window
Each day I sift through the data for hours
I do this to feed me
I need it to stop soon
What if the house burns
down to the ground?
Flat to the earth
Badness to break my own back down
Soon would I learn
Fooling around
Carpet and all
I bought to make all these sounds
I’d save it to save me
Millions of noises are all
under lockdown for safety
Each day they come to get put down or try to escape me
Suddenly sometimes
End of the day
Comes with the cars
People returning to home
Look at me now
Turn a job down
Money is now not the be all
Or even the end all
For me to be it all
I’d save it to save me
Help me chase these birds away
If you throw a stick or pick a stone from the garden
Cars still line this black plastic street
When the moon is very full and bright This is what I see
I chase these birds away from here
Paper folded three times, see
I chase these birds away
