"The Bird And The Worm" lyrics - THE USED

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

[Chorus 1:]
All alone
He turns to stone while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life, he crawls, like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls, like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind, the weight 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 (out of his mind)

[Chorus 2:]
All alone
He turns to stone while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life, he crawls, like a worm
(Crawls, like a worm)
Crawls, like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

[Bridge:]
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 a bird

[Breakdown:]
And he crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a...

[M8]
Out of his mind
The weight pushes him, whispering
Must have been out of his mind

[Chorus 3:]
All alone
He turns to stone while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life, he crawls, like a worm from a bird
All alone
He turns to stone while holding his breath half to death
Terrified
To save his life, he crawls, like a worm from a bird
(Crawls, like a worm)
Crawls, like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

[Outro:]
(All alone)
(All alone)
(All alone)
(All alone)
