The Bird and the Worm (Live) Lyrics

[Spoken]
This song is about feeling alone and it’s a big, big, big world, and not to be controversial but I want to dedicate this song to freedom in Palestine

[Verse 1]
He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

[Chorus]
All alone he turns to stone while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what’s inside to save his life
He crawls like worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Like worm from a bird

[Verse 2]
Out of his mind the wind pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind (out of his mind)
Mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind

[Chorus]
All alone he turns to stone while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what’s inside to save his life
He crawls like worm
Like a worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Like a worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Crawls like worm
Like worm from a bird
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
All he knows
If he can't relieve it, it grows
And so it goes (and so it goes)
He crawls like worm
Crawls like worm from the bird
He crawls a like
He crawls like a worm
(Crawls like a worm)
(Crawls like a )
Out of his mind the wind pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind

[Chorus]
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what’s inside to save his life
All alone he’s holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
Crawls like worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Like worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Like worm from a bird (oh, oh, oh)
Crawls like worm, like worm, like worm from a bird
[Spoken]
Wow! That is incredible! One more time for the singers and the string players. Oh my God. I’ve never heard our song sound so amazing

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
