birds of my own

if it keeps you here
i will hold you down
if it makes you mine
i will pull you to the ground

if it holds you near
i will keep you bound
if you'd just stay by my side
i'd wear you like a crown

if god sees the sparrow fall
then why can't he see me?
the devil sends his magpies
seven strong through my tv
i won't be fooled by arrows
they will land where they are thrown
will i ever will i ever
have birds of my own?

if you are lost
i won't be found
if you fly to heaven
i will wallow underground

if you disappear
it will break me down
if you fly away from me
i'll cry until i've drowned

if god sees the sparrow fall
then why can't he see me?
the devil sends his magpies
seven strong through my tv
i won't be fooled by arrows
they will land where they are thrown
will i ever will i ever
have birds of my own?

end.
