lyrics
No Birds
what does it mean that the birds disappeared
what does it mean that icicles wouldn’t form
was it worse than we’d heard?
what does it mean the hills turned inward
what does it mean and the mountains withdrew
was it worse than we’d heard?
what does it mean that kings are gone
what does it mean that fairness is dead
was it worse that we heard?
what does it mean, this disconnect
what does it mean, this nervousness
was it worse than we’d heard?
what does it mean everything’s got weight
what does it mean the air is so thick
was it worse than we’d heard?
was it worse than we’d heard?
was it worse than we’d heard?
sure you can, you do
but why do you want to?
grab an extra coat
because the things that used to float
ARE COMING DOWN
