Birds Lyrics by Deas Vail

Birds & Cages

2010

[Verse 1]
This is our true alarm. This is reality. We will do what we can
We are just figurines with a theology that we don't understand
We can't forget the beginning, when He set our broken wings

[Chorus]
God, how much does it take for us to be loved? For us to be saved?
We are all birds stuck inside our cage, covered up with praise
And behind our saints we hide our face
Oh, the numbers come. Yeah, they're dialing in
We can't help but to compare ourselves again

[Verse 2]
I can't believe in this -- this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss. We can't see past our thrones
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin
Oh God, where have we gone?
When I'm just one fighting indifference, does it matter what I say?

[Chorus]
God, how much does it take for us to be loved? For us to be saved?
We are all birds stuck inside our cage, covered up with praise
And behind our saints we hide our face
Oh, the numbers come. Yeah, they're dialing in
We can't help but to compare ourselves again

[Outro]
It's not that there were ever bad intentions -- it's more that we forgot where to call home
From important things that we don't know to mention, it's the uniform that we put on -- the formula we have for love

(Beautiful intentions, Formula for love)
It's not that there were ever bad intentions -- it's more that we forgot where to call home
From important things that we don't know to mention, it's the uniform that we put on -- the formula we have for love
