New Bird
NADA SURF · You Know Who You Are 2016 · Track 04 of 10
There's a new bird at my window It wasn't there before The other one's not singing anymore
Scores of demons have been fading Slowly through the night They melt into the walls and out of sight
Oh my family split in two When my dad after the war Said he didn't worship with his parents anymore
He kept flying back from school Still trying to be a decent son But when he knocked on their front door, they wouldn't come
All the rules you hold to They're only there to numb you So you don't ask a question when you feel If every non-believer is a non-receiver There's a reason right there To raise your hand
Fifty years later and we met them Though I wish them well It's strange they think I'm going straight to hell
There's a new bird at my window It wasn't there before The other one's not singing anymore
