lyrics

There's a strange little bird at the motel
And a gun shop three miles ahead
God walked right on up, rang the doorbell
But the TV was on loud so he left
Oh and the flood can't put out the wildfire
Love can't quell what greed desires
Birds like little soldiers in a line

What happens when the battlefield
Engulfs the battle
When the land for which we war
Burns us alive
Call it what you will
The end or just some cosmic shadow
But don't you wanna see yourself
Before you die

The astrologers all said I told you so
You see destruction is a lengthy affair
And so I watched what I could from the window
Until the smoke finally swallowed the air

The flood can't put out the wildfire
Love can't quell what greed desires
Birds like little soldiers in a line

What happens when the battlefield
Engulfs the battle
When the land for which we war
Burns us alive
Call it what you will
The end or just some cosmic shadow
But don't you wanna see yourself
Before you die

Don’t you wanna see yourself
Don’t you wanna see yourself
Don’t you wanna see yourself

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
