Текст A Lot Like Birds — Good Soil, Bad Seeds

Good people do such bad things when untended to
Good soil with such dead leaves bearing rotten fruit

Kinetically, I am what you give to me
Give me trust and I’ll be trusting
Separately, when I’m not where you can see
The machinery that keeps us on is rusting

And when we meet, you’ll kiss me with a seed between your teeth
And if it settles in my chest, I’ll do my best to leave it be
I’ll let the stem strike out
I’ll let it pry apart my ribs
I’ll throw the petals up to show this for exactly what it is

Kinetically, I am what you give to me
Give me trust and I’ll be trusting
Separately, when I’m not where you can see
The machinery that keeps us on is rusting

In conversation, when my tongue is laying traps for you to fall on
Will you fall on?
And in the teeth, are you calm, are you serene
So your stillness gives me nothing?

Take what you want, I won’t be selfish
Just take it all, I know you can’t help it
Don’t lose the steps that got you this far
Just get some rest, you know you don’t have to fall apart

Take what you want, I won’t be selfish
Just take it all, I know you can’t help it
Don’t lose the steps that got you this far
Just get some rest, you know you don’t have to fall apart

There is nothing to fear, there is nobody watching you
There’s nobody watching you, you don’t have to fall apart
There is nothing to fear, there is nobody watching you
There’s nobody watching you, you don’t have to fall apart

There is nothing to fear, there is nobody watching you
There’s nobody watching you, you don’t have to fall apart

(When my tongue is laying traps for you to fall on)

Good people do such bad things when untended to
Good soil with such dead leaves bearing rotten fruit
