Lyrics America! I'm for the Birds - Nicolás Jaar

America! I'm for the Birds

I never know what you’re on about
The reason we don’t see you
The reason’s just a sound
But you don’t know that you’re just a sound
And me, you know
It’s not complicated:
I’m for the birds
Not for the cages
The strength of your face
The length of your dying eyes
We’ve come way too far
To imagine what’s left
Not for the cages
Not for the faithless
The strength of your faith
And I look into your dying eyes
And I look at your lying eyes
