Starling Lyrics
Starling
Music and Lyrics by Reese Roper from album Anti-Meridian
Filthy bird laying in our yard,
four chamber heart never beat so
hard.
Dad said she was almost gone,
upside down out on our
lawn.
And I could hold her in a shoe box,
if she heals she could be
mine.
And if I cannot save her spirit,
dad says I should break her
spine.
Shaking, brilliant, silver-black wings,
Jesus Christ, what
prayers these tears sing.
Wear your hearts out on your sleeves
for,
starlings... starlings.
Of the least of all of these,
are starlings... starlings.
Two years pass, I pump the
chamber,
full of air to shoot the birds.
Harmless game to hit them
slightly,
Scare them off, in other words.
Starling falling to her
death,
piercing copper steals her breath.
See the flutter in her
breast,
starving babies in her nest.
Raise their souls up to the
sky,
why must helpless creatures die?
Wear your hearts out
on your sleeves for,
starlings... starlings.
Of the least of all of
these,
are starlings... starlings.
Every breath has sacred
weight,
every life has some design.
Can we kill and also save,
speak life,
while digging graves?
