Ben Collins - Flight of the Birds lyrics

[Chorus x2] Sometimes you are the flight of the birds And other times, you're watching the flight of the birds [Verse 1] If I could crawl into the wall And face all in my guts Walk them in the dark And feed them to my young I'd say “Baby bird, baby bird, wake up it is day Baby bird, what's the word? You won't eat what I prey?" Well this, it comes from me And you, you are of me too So what, I ask, is the dilemma? Please do eat me through For sacrifice is my final lesson This is what I say I give myself for you to eat So you may live another day Some days you wanna hollow away and hollow in your egg Other days you feel like hatching and falling out of your nest Some days you don't admit to your inexplicable loneliness And coping with yourself is the only mask in hand that might fit In one way, I'm coordinated enough to lead thee Another way, I'm hungry Who the f**'s gonna feed me? You contradicted feathered inhuman being, leave me (??????) shivers, be free! [Chorus x2] Sometimes you are the flight of the birds And other times you're watching the flight of the birds [Bridge] Go pour a drink, go read a book, put if off for a day Go march around in circles in the back when you're wide awake Go think about what you'd rather do and pa** it up again Go ahead, just fall into the back of the (???) draft wind Thanks for watching yourself Well are you watching yourselves? Thanks for watching yourself Just for watching ourselves Just for watching yourself Well are you watching yourselves? Thanks for watching yourself [Verse 2] It's a life of tree branches and telephone poles Baby bird, don't know why A hell of an old soul Feel the vibrations of conversations, cheek to cheek The monarchy of eavesdropping pigeon feet A life operated around awkward dates and times Migratory patterns and these tattered wings of mine I'm flattered that you think I look brilliant in flight I must have two or three billion affiliates alike Huh, I love hearing it, though But it's steering my growth You look at me in flight, and I appear in the flow (Sometimes) Ha! I say f** the bird's eye view Tell me a good perspective of the worms I chew Things that you learned when I flew Wings that would ??? with a solid flight crew Don't be unnerved I'm not really like you I like you, but I walk by day and fly the night through [Chorus x2] Sometimes you are the flight of the birds And other times you're watching the flight of the birds [Bridge 2] Make a mistake or do it right It's up to you This wing-flapper's sacrifice is nothing new I'd shake your hand and feather-dust New Amsterdam But I'm just busy right now cancelling all my plans Thanks for watching yourself Well are you watching yourselves? Thanks for watching yourself Just for watching ourselves Just for watching yourself Well are you watching yourselves? Thanks for watching yourself Thanks for watching myself [Outro] Give it up to all innovators of flight Starting with the short-tailed albatross King rail Bloody sheldrake Stormy petrels Mallards Blue-footed b**by The shoveler, baby Common loon Sandhill crane Don't forget the great auk Even though y'all extinct, I still love ya, baby
