How come birds always look for a quiet place to hide?
These words can't explain what I feel inside
How come birds always look for a quiet place to hide?
Cold hard truths I can't face
Like birds I need a, a quiet place to hide
But not a feather falling in the dark
These words can't explain what I feel inside
And everywhere I look there's something to learn
There's consequences I'm scared to taste
These days are different than the past
These things are between myself and I
This confidence I try to fake
How come birds don't fall from the sky when they die?
Like birds I need a, a quiet place to hide, yeah
Like birds I need a, a quiet place to hide, oh yeah
A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn
Another old prophet perched upon the fence
A cupful of pencils and a self help guru
You can hear the beating of my heart
And everything I hear never makes any sense
A hat full of quarters and a naked song
These independent moves I make
In my thick skull the joker hides
Like birds I need a, a quiet place to hide
How come birds don't fall from the sky when they die?
These words can't explain what I feel inside
Don't answer the question of where we belong
How come birds always look for a quiet place to hide?
Reflections change in the looking glass
How come birds don't fall from the sky when they die?
Don't answer the questions of what I am to you
