Night Birds

[00:04.13] I pull my eyes like slot machines

[00:08.11] I do, but I never fall asleep

[00:10.23] These sheep I count don't show up anymore, oh

[00:16.34] And a stray cat cries and wakes the stars

[00:20.33] Their constellations spray the dark

[00:22.18] I toss and turn my demons till they are

[00:27.78] 'Cause I'm restless for the future

[00:30.44] And I'm battered by the past

[00:33.63] I'm paralyzed, nocturnal, never crash

[00:39.47] 'Cause I'm lying in my room

[00:45.05] Wishing night birds would come through

[00:51.16] And my wings are in my chest

[00:56.74] Packs of lonely cigarettes

[01:03.12] Keep waiting for a match

[01:04.30] To light my soul

[01:05.90] I'm lying in my bed till blood runs cold

[01:08.82] But these night birds move too slow

[01:19.18] The clock is wrong, I still believe

[01:23.96] Someday, they'll find my batteries

[01:25.02] I think I lost them somewhere deep in Hell

[01:29.53] Yeah

[01:31.39] Some say Neil Armstrong jumped the moon

[01:35.12] 'Cause it never shines a perfect hue

[01:37.24] I wonder if it's fading like myself

[01:40.95] Yeah

[01:42.55] 'Cause I'm hoping for a new day

[01:45.47] But I'm shattered like a glass

[01:48.39] I'm paralyzed, nocturnal, never crash

[01:53.98] 'Cause I'm lying in my room

[01:59.82] Wishing night birds would come through

[02:05.93] And my wings are in my chest

[02:12.04] Packs of lonely cigarettes

[02:18.14] Keep waiting for a match

[02:19.48] To light my soul

[02:21.07] I'm lying in my bed till blood runs cold

[02:24.25] But these night birds move too slow

[02:42.33] 'Cause I'm lying in my room

[02:47.91] Wishing night birds would come through

[02:54.03] And my wings are in my chest

[02:59.88] Packs of lonely cigarettes

[03:05.98] Keep waiting for a match

[03:07.58] To light my soul

[03:09.18] I'm lying in my bed till blood runs cold

[03:12.09] But these night birds move too slow
