Jesca Hoop - Murder of Birds Songtexte

I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape
When your tongue finds the words

Like I hate you when I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

This shape of a snake
In a defensive coil
Same retracted lips
Of the one foolish girl

Says she hates you when she
Loves you the most
Loves you the most
Loves you

And Ive got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You oh

Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside

For the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to fly

And the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
Birds

And I think Im alone
In desire for grace
Fire only shimmered
And Im no longer safe

I say I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

This shape of my breast
And a shape of my kiss
Demented coil
With a slither and hiss

Said I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you

And Ive got demons when I need 'em
Don't ask to see them they're not supposed to be used against
You oh

Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside

To the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You make free for me to fly

And the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said

The shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said

'Cause Im not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
