O'Dear Songtext
von Birds in Row

For what it's worth,
I took your hand and walked the walk
Now, I admit, I simply don't give a Fuck
There ain't no cure to find between pleasant arms
Oh Routine, you got my youth one hope at a time

you can't help yourself if you just wait for change
I learned to whip the dust out of my chest
our paper plane was simply born to crash
and I'll make you pay for all the time I don't have

because I don't wanna be stuck in front of the jukebox
repeating a song called "All Illusions I Had"
I will burn down the stable
I'll burn down the sweet
I'll banish the normal and will make it a fear

I escape when you're getting closer
I bet you thought it could last forever
there is no room for love in the space you leave
between the human being and the machine


this is a break up letter,
a light in the dark,
a way to escape a train
that just refused to start

you don't shine for brilliant lovers,
just a star guiding salt-free sailors,
a game that will definitely have to stop one day,
the comfort that never really suited me

I want to live,
for the sake of the silence but your watch is ticking,
I made a mistake and I had to repair it
well, I burned down the stable
burned down the sweet
but you're still in the nights I spent
trying to find some sleep

if life is a miracle,
you keep hiding it
behind a repetitive schedule
and the money you put in my pocket
so, maybe, fuck you


for all the time it took,
every night,
to stop the little voices
and to close my eyes
for all the fear you've always injected into me,
I only see one end to this: I run away
