Cover art for The Bird and the Worm lyrics by Used, The

"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"

Hes a kid who's nice to everyone, even tho hes treated bad, being nice to people is all that he knows how to do; was taught was the right thing to do.. His backpack is his ego, and is shut down by bullies, who makes him feel shitty about, and hate himself.

"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"

hes trying to act like "stone" acting as if the ridicule doesn't effect him, and trying to slide away from it.

"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"

hes trying to make it seem like its just all in his head hes being bullied

"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"

it just keeps getting worse

"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"

I could relate to this song so much

he goes insane.
