Lyrics McCafferty – Dead–Bird
Text:
Breathe in, breathe out, everybody scream fuck
I know I’ve gone too far this time
My grandpa said don’t be afraid of death
He’s just your oldest friend
I hope I forget all these lies
The books that I am reading are the ones I’ve forgot
I tore out all of the pages along with my heart
And I spelled your name still with the letters from the letters that I wrote
And I spelled out your name still with the letters from the letters that I wrote
See this body, see this body, see this body’s not for me
And the way my bones are breaking is the way my skin will bleed
So I put out my fists, and you mark both my hands
With little X’s that mean that I am extra unsafe
Where did your spine go?
I know
I’ve got none
Is it your heart that breaks first
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know
I’ve got none
Is it your heart that breaks first
Fragile bones
And she is playing on the playground
And she is playing on the swings
She is learning words like ‘fuck’ and ‘hate’
And I know just what it means
It means she’s just like her mom
She’ll end up lonely and sad
With rings in her mouth
With guns in her house
With holes in her heart
Hey Kid
Where did your spine go?
I know
I’ve got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know
I’ve got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know
I’ve got none
Is it your heart that breaks first?
Fragile bones
Where did your spine go?
I know
I’ve got none
Is it your fear that breaks first?
Fragile bones
