Circa Survive – Bird Sounds lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so selfish to say "We won't be found out a lie."
I hope you have a good place to hide
Someone will find you
No one should have to live with this much stress
Killing yourself, trying to live. (And it remains)

[Chorus]
And it remains the only meaningful mistake
But you won't let go, you don't know how to
And every morning I begin my dreams when i'm awake
Empty bird sounds are reminders
You're not awake at all

[Verse 2]
In the most unusual of ways
It comes without summoning
You have no choice in it
I don't think it's selfish to say
"This doesn't matter."
I can see it running through his veins
We're in the kingdom
(And it remains)

[Chorus]
And it remains the only thing you can't explain
But you never know, it's better not to
And every morning there's a meaningful mistake
Empty bird sounds, are reminders
You're not awake at all

[Bridge]
We must allow, we must allow to settle and stray
Now that I see, now that I see it run through your head

[Chorus]
And it remains the only thing you can't explain
But you won't let go, you don't know how to
And every morning there's a meaningful mistake
You're not awake at all
You're not awake at all
