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 All alone he turns to stone While holding his breath half to death Terrified of whats inside To save his life he crawls Like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm from a bird Out of his mind away Pushes him whispering Must have been out of his mind Mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head Maybe out of his mind All alone he turns to stone While holding his breath half to death Terrified of whats inside To save his life he Crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird All he knows If he can't relieve it it grows And so it goes He crawls like a worm Crawls like a worm from the bird Out of his mind away Pushes him whispering Must have been out of his mind All alone he turns to stone While holding his breath half to death Terrified of whats inside To save his life He crawls like a worm from a bird All alone he Holding his breath half to death Terrified to save his life He crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm Crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm from a bird Crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm Crawls like a worm from a bird
