Songbirds Lyrics by Anthony D’Amato

Paper Back Bones

2012

I've got a plan for my demons, I'm gonna meet them in the morning
We'll televise it like a [?] fight, hey'll never know the fix is in
I'll take a fall in the first round, get my lips split, landin' face-down
Never bet against your sins
I've got a plan for my best friends, I'm gonna tell them that I'm leavin'
Packin' up all my loose ends with a suitcase and guitar
I always make it to the taxi, with my bags packed, in the backseat
But I never get too far
From that lonesome feelin' of a hollow chest
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
The credits rollin', oh, the screen went dark
And I lost my heart
I've been puttin' on a brave face when I say grace every evenin'
Holdin' faith like a hostage, till I lost it one night
Now I'm [healin'] at the bedside, with the shades drawn and my hands tied
No, it never takes long
That lonesome feelin' of a hollow chest
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
The [wolves] a-waiting, oh, they [sew] them apart
And I lost my heart
I lost my heart
I cut a hole in the window, where my dreams go in the morning
Settle down on the sidewalk, like a fine chalk dust
Still, my lover's havin' nightmares as she lies there, right beside me
She's never far enough
From that lonesome feelin' of a hollow chest
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
Don't you worry, don't you lose your heart
I will sing their part
I will sing their part
I will sing their part
