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
/ -C#/
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Post Chorus: -C#/
Verse 2:
/
Out of his mind The weight pushes him whispering
/
Must have been out of his mind
/
Mid-day delusions are pushing this out of his
/
head Maybe out of his mind
Out of his mind
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude: -C#/ (x4)
Bridge:
/
All he knows
/
If he can't relieve it grows
/
And so it grows
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Scream:
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(Repeat x4)
Verse 3:
/
Out of his mind The weight pushes him whispering
/
Must have been out of his mind
(Repeat chorus twice)
