[Verse 1]
Wherever you go, I will be carcass
Whatever you see will be rotting flesh
Humanity recovered, glittering etiquette
Answers her crimes with mausoleum rent
[Pre-Chorus]
Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind, your success inspires
And analyse, despise, and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Your meaning, your meaning
[Chorus]
No birds
No birds
The sky is swollen black
No birds
No birds
Holy mass of dead insects
[Verse 2]
I come and I walk down memory lane
No one sees a thing but they can pretend
Life, eternal scorched grass and the trees
For your love, nature has haemorrhaged
[Pre-Chorus]
Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind, your success inspires
And analyse, despise, and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning
Your meaning, your meaning
[Chorus]
No birds
No birds
The sky is swollen black
No birds
No birds
Holy mass of dead insect
[Bridge]
"I wanted to, um, rub the human face in its own vomit, and force it to look in the mirror."
[Outro]
And life can be as important as death
But so mediocre when there's no air, no light, and no hope
Prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn
The world lances youth's lamb-like winter, winter
