[Verse 1]
Am Little birds born without a mother or a father Am I can feel their feathers forming in the running water G Now there is another in the middle of my mouth Em A hundred altogether inside of me now Am Am Little birds, little birds come into my body ...
[Verse 2]
Am Mother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking Am Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me G Put your ears up to my mouth and you can hear them signing Em Put you hand within me and you'll know what I'm feeling Am Am I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them ...
[Verse 3]
Am Daddy, come towards me, I can see his hands are shaking Am Put his hands against me, he could feel their bodies breaking G Push me to the floor and put his hands up for a beating Em "I don't want to hear it anymore," he kept repeating Am Am Do you really want the burning hell to come and get you? ...

[Verse 4]
Am Am Did you see the burning hell, it took your baby brother? Am Am Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer? G G Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover Em And deep in sin they held each other
[Verse 5]
Am So I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in Am Knowing God in Heaven, no, could never, could forgive him G Em So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his little brains in
[Verse 6]
Am Little boy born without a father or a mother Am Taken to the river and then pushed into the water G And the priests are singing that the hell is getting hotter Em La la la la la
[Verse 7]
Am Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him Am From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him Am G Em Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him
[Outro]
Am G And here beneath the water I can see Em Am How the lights distort so strange Am G Em And this is how I-I-I-I-III would like to leave my body Am Am And start again eh eh eh eeh
