Murder Of Birds Lyrics by Jesca Hoop

Hunting My Dress (Deluxe Edition)

2009

I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape
When your tongue finds the words
Like I hate you when I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most
This shape of a snake
In a defensive coil
The same retracted lips
Of the one foolish girl
Says she hates you when she
Loves you the most
Loves you the most
Loves you
And I've got demons
When I need 'ems
Don't ask to see them, they're not
Supposed to be used against
You, oh
Oh, can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride?
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside
For the spider, we'll give a web
To the cobra, a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You'll make free for me to fly
In the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
In a wake of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
And I think I'm alone
In desire for grace
For you unleash your mood
And I'm no longer safe
I say I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most
This shape of my breast
And a shape of my kiss
Dement and coil
With a slither and hiss
I say I hate you and I
Love you the most
Love you the most
Love you
And I've got demons
When I need 'ems
Don't ask to see 'em, they're not
Supposed to be used against
You, oh
Can we build a safe house
Far from the bitter bride?
And we'll make a home with a brown recluse
And a cobra locked outside
To the spider, we'll give a web
To the cobra, a lullaby
And keeping the demons happy
You'll make free for me to fly
In the shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
In a wake of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
The shape of home baked bread
And the girl in a turned down bed
In a wake of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
'Cause I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
