This Dead Bird Is Beautiful Lyrics
You lie in your wheat
You lie in your wheat
This dead bird is beautiful
We found her heart piece
She has my eyes
She has my eyes
The golden glow that glowed all night
Don’t you say she was weak
Don’t you say she was weak
I’ll carry her
Because she breathed I breathed
I’ll carry her
Because she breathed I breathed
And I won’t come into my house
Not when you’re around
Oo-oo ladadada
And I won’t come into my house
Not when you’re around
Oo-oo ladadada
She showed her heart
She showed her heart
You called art a fag
Before your drug her into the dark
You were the victim
You were the victim
You wouldn’t let up
Until she kissed your
Now she’s the villain
There’s no loss in heaven
There’s no loss in heaven
A golden armored sky will carry her
But I’ll always have her eyes
I’ll carry her
but I’ll always have her eyes
I won’t come into my house
not when you’re around
You lie in your wheat
This dead bird is beautiful
We found her heart piece
She has my eyes
She has my eyes
The golden glow that glowed all night
Don’t you say she was weak
Don’t you say she was weak
I’ll carry her
Because she breathed I breathed
I’ll carry her
Because she breathed I breathed
Not when you’re around
Oo-oo ladadada
And I won’t come into my house
Not when you’re around
Oo-oo ladadada
She showed her heart
You called art a fag
Before your drug her into the dark
You were the victim
You were the victim
You wouldn’t let up
Until she kissed your
Now she’s the villain
There’s no loss in heaven
But I’ll always have her eyes
I’ll carry her
but I’ll always have her eyes
not when you’re around

The dead bird is his mother and the "you" he's singing to is his father. I'm guessing the father was abusive to the mother... Could have been what caused her death? Some notable lines I love : "because she breathed I breathed"... He is alive because she gave birth to him... "I'll always have her eyes" reminds me of Harry Potter having his mother's eyes... beautiful song.
Good job! A few things, though: Besides some minor things, I hear "Hell won't come into my house" in the chorus, and it's definitely "There's no walls in heaven" instead of "loss", though both make sense.
