Kills Birds Lyrics

wish I was volcano
I long to be a powerful and explosive force, but I fear that I am nothing more than an inert object.

But I think I'm just a rock A rock that's sitting Underneath the sea
Instead of being a force of nature, I am more like an insignificant and unnoticed object within a larger environment.

I wish I was tornado
I yearn to be a destructive and unstoppable force of nature, but instead I feel weak and malleable.

But I think I'm just some play doh And I'm played out like a
Rather than being a fierce tornado, I feel like a flimsy and underwhelming mass, like a toy that has been overused and lacks its original appeal.

Campy B-movie
I feel like a cheap or ridiculous imitation of something that was originally intended to be powerful and awe-inspiring.

You told me I was pretty
You complimented my appearance and made me feel special.

But that you could never touch me Cuz to touch me would mean
However, you also made it clear that you could never get too close to me, because doing so would require letting yourself be vulnerable.

You would have to feel
Getting too close to me would force you to confront certain emotions or aspects of yourself that you may not be ready to face.

And I never felt so lucky
I felt grateful and fortunate to be seen as desirable and valuable by someone like you.

When you said that you could love me But to love me would make
However, your admission that you could love me also revealed a painful truth: that truly loving me would require embracing certain complexities or difficulties that may make you uncomfortable or unsure.

All of this too real
The prospect of confronting these challenges was daunting and overwhelming for both of us.

Volcano
I repeat my desire to be a powerful and explosive force, which seems out of reach in my current state.

I wish I was a star
I long to be a celestial object of beauty and wonder, but instead I feel like a terrestrial creature on the verge of death.

But I guess I'm just a fish A dying fish that's
Despite my lofty aspirations, I am more like a small and insignificant animal that is experiencing a slow and painful demise.

Washed onto the beach
My weakness and vulnerability are explicitly exposed and visible to all those around me.

I wish I was a lamb
I wish I had the innocence and purity of a domestic animal, but instead I feel like an outcast or vagabond.

But I guess I'm just a tramp And I'll take whatever love You're gonna give me
In reality, I have little choice but to accept whatever love or affection I can get, even if it comes from sources that may not be entirely trustworthy or stable.

I said that I was tough
I have presented myself as a strong and resilient person in the past, but now I doubt my own resolve and fortitude.

But I think I made it up
Perhaps my strength and resilience were never truly present or genuine, and instead were simply a facade or projection.

Cuz there's nothing more that I would rather do
Despite my doubts and fears, I still feel a strong desire to connect with others and experience intimacy.

Hold me by the hand and I hope you understand, That all I wanna do is Melt with you
I am extending an invitation to you to come closer and let our barriers melt away, in the hopes that we can find solace and security in each other.

I wish I was the water but I guess I'm just the Earth And I'm packed in tight Instead of overflowing
I would like to be a fluid and dynamic element, but instead I am more like a static and unchanging foundation. I feel constrained and limited in my ability to express myself or grow.

I wish I was a glacier but
I aspire to be grand and imposing, like a majestic ice formation, but my reality is far more humbling and disappointing.

I guess I'm just an iceberg and My better half is
In actuality, I am more subtle and ambiguous than grand or imposing, like an iceberg whose true size or object is hidden beneath the surface.

Underneath the sea
There are parts of me that are inaccessible and remain shrouded in mystery, even to myself.

I wish that you could see
I hope that you can understand and empathize with the pain and confusion that I am going through.

Just how much you're killing me Cuz I'm drowning on the floor In all this heat
However, the reality is that your actions or decisions are causing me a great deal of pain and suffering, to the point where I feel like I am suffocating or drowning in my own emotional turmoil.

I think my heart is broken and I'm tired of this poem
I believe that my heart is damaged or malfunctioning in some way, and I am growing weary of trying to express myself through poetic or artistic means.

That's it
I have reached the end of my emotional rope and have nothing left to give or express.

I'm done
I am finished with this experience or relationship and am ready to move on.

You've had enough of me
I recognize that my presence or behavior may have been demanding or overwhelming, and that it is time for me to step back and give you space.

Volcano
I reiterate my desire to be a powerful and explosive force, a wish that remains unfulfilled and out of reach.
