(Keep playing this with the lyrics)
Birds are circling above,
They're called back to a waiting glove.
Why don't they,
Fly away?
Surely they have guessed by now,
There is no gun to shoot them down.
And still they stay,
for what they say...

Are we killing them with lies?
Are they fighting for their lives?
Killing them with thoughts?
Can we never get enough?

Killing them, are we killing, killing every single feeling?
It's a trained response.

Birds are circling above,
They're called back to a waiting glove.
This sordid game,
It fears my name.
I have worshiped some false gods,
I run to them like Pavlov's dogs.
To hide my shame,
and fan the flame.
