2310 - Paper Bird

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
