A small bird – Lighten up! Lyrics
Artist: A small bird
Song: Lighten up!
Moments of relief are hard to find;
This face looks almost real this time
Maybe today there’ll be no gasps
Or frightened screams, or heart attacks
But every footstep on cement
Loosens the bolts and frays the threads
That keep me together, that keep me together, that keep my head
The patchwork skin or mismatched teeth
Uncanny always close at hand;
I made somebody cry again
I’d be sent to Roswеll for inspection
If any agent dared to risk infеction
My survival is predicated on fear
I try to lighten up
It seems one billion volts wasn’t near enough
Still, I should lighten up
And I’m trying, I’m trying
Town made up of apprehensive grins
Waiting for me to finally give in
Let myself crumbled down to dust
And be shipped back to wherever I came from
And many years after my death
No remnants of my efforts left
Just some vague anecdotes about
The ghoul who used to haunt the town
And my spirit will spill right down the driveway
Run with plastic drugstore bags along the highway
Like a pile of trash for a party that no one had
I’m already breaking up
But I don’t think it matters if I’ve had enough
Only one way to it and it’s to get tough
And I’m trying, I’m trying
Call me a malcontent—
I’ve gotten worse, and I’ll get it again
Self-Sufficiency may be my only defense
And I’m trying
I’m trying
I’m trying
