Secrets of Birds

Save me from these thoughts
dive-bomb every part
Save me from these doubts
Dissecting my heart

Shouldn’t do this anymore
you occupy my head
set me free, find a cure
occupy my bed

I will be loved
Its motives blurred
But my heart’s a real thing
It knows the secrets of birds

Save me from these thoughts
dive-bomb every part
Save me from these doubts
That burrow in my heart

Change your mind, let me know
I will hold you near
If you love it, let it go
tell your secret, tell it clear

I will be loved
Its ways absurd
But my heart’s a real thing
It knows the secrets of birds

I am not afraid
Of what birds say
I am not afraid
of the darkness in my way

tiny birds that swarm our heads
catch the end and pull the thread
tiny birds that swarm our heads
unravel thoughts and sing instead

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
