The Bird and the Worm (a cappella) Songtext
von The Used

He wears his heart
Safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
Whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what′s inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind the way
Pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
New day delusions are
Pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind


All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

All he knows
Is he can't believe that it grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from the bird

And - He - Crawls like a worm
He - Crawls like a worm
He - Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm...

Out of his mind the way
Pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what′s inside
To save his life he crawls
Like a worm from a bird


All alone
He's holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
