Lyrics The Bird and the Worm - The Used

The Bird and the Worm

He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
Whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what’s inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Out of his mind
The weight pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Mid-day delusions
are pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind
Out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(Crawls like a worm from a bird)
(Crawls like a worm from a bird)
(Crawls like a worm)
(Crawls like a worm from a bird)
All he knows
If he can’t relieve it grows
And so it grows
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Out of his mind
The weight pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
He’s holding his breath half to death
(Holding his breath half to death)
Terrified
To save his life
He crawls like a worm
(Crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
