Lyrics
V1
Tears cut through my eyes like glass
Pain in my chest scrapes
It feels like the birds have broken wings
And they can't escape
V2
Like birds in the dark, feelings die when
Truth isn't bulletproof
I'd open my heart to let them all out
To see if they even move
CH
Wake me up with a shotgun sound
Half the truth is a whole lie
That goes round, round, and round
So my birds won't fly
V3
Your silence pierced my eardrums
Worse than the screeching birds
Don't make a noise if there is no
Honesty in your words
V4
A lie is a bed made out of rocks
But it feels softer than my pain
Real trust may heal broken wings
But then how can I trust again
CH
Wake me up with a shotgun sound
Half the truth is a whole lie
That goes round, round, and round
So my birds won't fly
BRIDGE
Been a long time since
The truth was told
When do we take off
The blindfold?
CH
Wake me up with a shotgun sound
Half the truth is a whole lie
That goes round, round, and round
So my birds won't fly
CH
Wake me up with a shotgun sound
Half the truth is a whole lie
That goes round, round, and round
So my birds won't fly
