lyrics

Has the bird got your tongue
We’ve been doing it all wrong
Has the bird got your tongue

It feels like we’ve been sleeping
Bleary eyed awake
I can’t believe we were dreaming
When underneath we were wide awake

It’s coming
It’s coming
It’s coming

Descended like a thin mist
Altering our gaze
A doubt that softly lingers

There’s nothing to hold onto
There’s no one inside
Just a place upon your island
You daren’t go back inside

Gotta open up your island
The birds are at your door
Stop holding onto reasons
We’ve been this way before

Gotta open up your island
The birds are at your door
Stop holding onto reasons
We’ve been this way before

It’s coming
It’s coming
It’s coming
