lyrics

My words were a flock of birds in my mouth,
each of them desperate to
fly right out,
so I shuttered my teeth,
afraid that you might see:
all the feathers and pointless words
that stuff and fill me,
all the emptiness that fills my head,
there's nothing more to see.

When I walked you home, I imagined cameras on every telephone pole, each snapping a picture to, prove our memories wrong for one day when we don't believe that we were ever this young.

My words were a flock of birds in my mouth,
a thousand refugees,
plotting to break out,
so I opened the gates,
surprised when you stayed.

When I walked you home, I imagined cameras on every telephone pole, each snapping a picture to, prove our memories wrong for one day when we don't believe that we were ever this young.

Driftwood Head
by Native Tongue

Native Tongue are some of the nicest dudes you could ever meet and they also happen to write some really cool songs. Plus, we like them so much that we share a drummer with them. Sleeping Tapes
