Hummingbird

[Verse 1]

A phone call in the midst of an adventure
And in a moment your face changes from
My favourite to most feared expression
And the shaking tells me the worst
Before you’ve uttered a word
The worst, before you’ve spoken a word

[Verse 2]

It’s funny how your life can change in an instant
As if your plans were never yours
And somewhere there’s invisible hands
Moving you on a game board

[Chorus]

I’ve never been one for religion
Sometimes I think it’s easy to believe
But this isn't one of those instances, as I’m finding it hard to conceive
How any of this could have a purpose, other than to hurt
And if this is your god up in heaven, he’s not one I want to know

If this was all planned, that’s kinda fucked (x3)

[Verse 3]
She's searching for hope in herbal medicines
Or maybe trying to find a plain,of existence
Where this isn’t happening, eyes pleading for someone to say
Anything that’ll give life back its purpose, or at least somehow explain
But her pleas all go unanswered, and nothing ever eases the ache

[Chorus]

I’ve never been one for religion
Sometimes I think it’s easy to believe
But this isn't one of those instances, as I’m finding it hard to conceive
How any of this could have a purpose, other than to hurt
And if this is your god up in heaven, he’s not one I want to know

If this was all planned, that’s kinda fucked (x3)
(repeat to close)

[Verse 4/Outro]

Where do babies go when they die?
Do their tiny hands and souls take flight?
I think I want to believe they’re still with us
Or that their brief life, those few short breaths
Had a greater purpose, tell me what’s the lesson?
Do we ever get to learn, because all I can feel is the hurt
