Smog - Blood Red Bird lyrics
[Smog - Blood Red Bird lyrics]
I was not woken by the rooster
Nor by the crow's tough song
But the midnight cry of a blood red bird
Brought this, this sleeplessness on
Threw open the window
Moonlight on a black garden of thorns
And the cool wind on my sweat
What cries home, where cries from
A blood red bird lies in the woods
Weeping into dead leaves
With wing torn and jutting bone
What hand bent it to bust to be useless
What hand I could have done it
With two fingers
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
We can continually sink into each other
Just deep enough to rip out a bit
More flesh when we move away
A scarf of skin trailing out behind
Like an arrow, I was only passing through
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
Nor by the crow's tough song
But the midnight cry of a blood red bird
Brought this, this sleeplessness on
Threw open the window
Moonlight on a black garden of thorns
And the cool wind on my sweat
What cries home, where cries from
A blood red bird lies in the woods
Weeping into dead leaves
With wing torn and jutting bone
What hand bent it to bust to be useless
What hand I could have done it
With two fingers
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
We can continually sink into each other
Just deep enough to rip out a bit
More flesh when we move away
A scarf of skin trailing out behind
Like an arrow, I was only passing through
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
A blood red bird, A blood red bird
