I Know Where The Canaries And Crows Go lyrics

Artist  : Blood Brothers, The 
Song : I Know Where The Canaries And Crows Go
 

Why can't we let our mouths devour each other?

 Why can't we turn those miles into inches,

 letters into breath, years into seconds?

 (We always said we'd return to the candy coated
jungle.)

 we always said that we would return

 to see what kind of orchird our heart seeds
grew.

 I know where the canaries go.

 I know where the crows go.

 So pick up the fucking phone.

 I sent you a letter just the other day my
friend, It said

 "tonight my body is crucified across the carcus
that our love grew.

 Tonight black feathers float from the sky like
it's raining lies.

 Tonight my lungs are hanging from a telephone
wire,

 choking on the broken digits of a dial tone.

 (Tonight telephone booths and trucks gawk

 as my ribcage snaps and snarls like a venus fly
trap.)

 Where did our hearts go?

 Where did our hearts go?

 Where did the crows go?

 Our mouths are limp mouths.

 We said we'd return for our petrified hearts

 put our name to the parchment made a pact in the
dark.

 Guaze gagged beaks may pump

 and beat but sealed inside are secrets screaming
to speak,

 (So open up your chest and let the birds
free.

 So meet me under the deserted desert tree.

 We'll eat sand crumpets and drink cactus tea,

 well pretend this dirt is sea.)

 We ate the white from the wedding,

 ate the sheets from the bedding,

 ate the smiles off our children,

 ate the leather off our birth skin.

 Have we wasted our whole lives

 sucking candy coated bullets from the chemical
gun?

 Every car that passes on this crooked highway
bears your face on it's grill.

 Every headlight casts your shadow onto my open
hear vigil.

 I know where the canaries go.

 I know where the crows go.

 They go into fucking skeletons.
