The Used
"The Bird And The Worm"

VERSE 1:
He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
his backpack is all that he knows...
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
the heart and devour the soul...

CHORUS:
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
to save his life
he crawls like a Worm from a Bird
(ALL ALONE)
(crawls like a worm from a bird)

Whispers of...(just keep working...just keep working...im terrified)

VERSE 2:
Out of his mind away
pushes him whispering:
"Musta been out of his mind..."
Mid-day dillusions of pushing this
out of his head
make him out of his mind..

CHORUS
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
to save his life
he crawls like a worm...
(crawls like a worm!)
crawls like a Worm from a Bird

BREAK:

CHANTING:
(ALL ALONEEE)
crawls like a worm from a bird
(ALL ALONEEE)
crawls like a worm from a bird
(ALL ALONEEE)
crawls like a worm...
crawls like a worm from a Bird...

Now he knows
if he can't relieve it, it grows...
and so it goes...
he crawls like a worm...
(crawls like a worm from a bird)

PRECHORUS
out of his mind away
pushes him whispering: musta been outta his mind

CHORUS:
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
to save his life
he crawls like a Worm from a Bird

All alone he's
holding his breath half to death(holding his breath half to death)
Terrified to save his life
he crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
from a bird...
(ALL ALONEEE)
crawls like a worm from a bird
(ALL ALONEEE)
crawls like a worm from a bird
(ALL ALONEEE)
CRAWLS LIKE A WORM...
CRAWLS LIKE A WORM...
CRAWLS LIKE A WORM FROM A bird...
