Birdbrained Lyrics

In my younger days, I was much older then

I swam in Edens of amoebas on a planet same as this one

With the spineless and the miserable

And from the waters edge, stuck out my birdbrained head

As the yolk spilled from the egg

Wash the jelly from my legs

Joined the upright and the uptight and the miserable

I'll change my form a billion years

Respond to every conditioning

The world is old and still naïve

The way I tried to be

Resort to jaded ways, we had excuses made

When I am gnarled like Nicademus

I'll need someone to attend me

Can I count on you to do this?

A quite untreatable, prolonged inevitable

Something crawled out from the wreck

Washed the dirt off from it's face

Joined the upright and the uptight and the miserable

My grace deformed before you dear

I take whatever you give me

The world is old and bored to tears

And I don't wanna be

No better time, no certain place

It's a lonely life in an empty nest

In a new incubated mother's breast

The world's a worm and the beak at best

And I don't wanna be

And as the yolk spilled from the egg

As the egg fell from the ledge

As my wings were molting off

I felt a sense of dread

When I waddle in disgrace

Back towards my nesting place

Join the spineless and the timeless and the cynical

I'll change my form a billion years

Respond to every conditioning

The world is old and still naïve

The way I try to be

So when you wash the dirt off from your face

Well, I don't wanna see
