2310 - Paper Bird

Written by：Anna Kohlweis

Roll up your sleeves there's work for you to do

The sand's blocking the drains

But keep your ears shut or it will talk to

You

We don't need accusations

We know there's dried blood on the stairs

It keeps telling those stories I don't want to hear

Anymore

I startle every time the heating goes on

And I jump out of bed when the storm gets

Stronger

What did you really buy those wind chimes for

When every time they start to jingle

I think someone's at the front door

They always come back around

The ghosts of the past they hunt me down all

The time

I remember selling something for a handful of glass beads

And now I am an invaded country

With a ghost town inside of me

But it's nothing like in the movies

Or on a theme park ride

Don't you dare to laugh or it won't let you

Sleep tonight

They're building factories in my head

They rattle and pound all along

That's why my hands are shaking when I try to

Hold on

And don't try to stop the nosebleed

Nothing will fix me

As long as I don't come to terms with something

That's always gonna trick me

They always come back around

The ghosts of the past they hunt me down all

The time

Always comes back around

The ghosts of the past they hunt me down all

The time

Always comes back around

The ghosts of the past they hunt me down all

The time
