Ironrose Worm

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
 All alone he turns to stone
 while holding his breath half to death
 Terrified of whats inside
 to save his life he crawls
 like a worm from a bird
 crawls like a worm from a bird
 Out of his mind away
 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
 All alone he turns to stone
 while holding his breath half to death
 Terrified of whats inside
 to save his life he
 crawls like a worm from a bird
 crawls like a worm from a bird
 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 the bird
 Out of his mind away
 pushes him whispering
 must have been out of his mind
 All alone he turns to stone
 while holding his breath half to death
 Terrified of whats inside
 to save his life he crawls
 like a worm from a bird
 crawls like a worm from a bird
 All alone
 he's holding his breath half to death
 Terrified to save his life
 he crawls like a worm
 Crawls like a worm from a bird
 crawls like a worm from a bird
 crawls like a worm from a bird
 crawls like a worm
 crawls like a worm
 crawls like a worm from a bird
