[@zhenyilani4535]

As I delivered my crime I [______](?) A bird flew by and saw what I'd done He set up a nest outside and sang about what I'd become He sang so loud, he sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbors would hear I invited him in to reason with him Promised I wouldn't do it again But he sang louder and louder inside the house And now I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Sat on it to make him stop I picked up the bird and plopped him in and that is the last time you'll ever sing I held him down and broke his neck Taught him a lesson he won't forget Then I put that bird in a cooking pot I boiled him up and ate the lot I started(?) the silence and deplored(?) the peace Plucked out a feather and fell asleep But in my dreams began to creep That old familiar tweet... tweet... tweet I opened my mouth and I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I opened my mouth and I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout I opened my mouth and I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout No song was coming from my mouth(?) From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth From my mouth The song was coming from my mouth I tried to get the original lyrics to try to understand what this song was about but couldn't get all the words. I think the bird is either her consciousness or some entity tormenting her. It fits her theme of having so many regrets and trying so hard to get rid of them.

[@kaynanmg]

hey man. this version is less polished, and it's a little clunkier - but there's a lot more, i don't know, i don't wanna say soul but that's the only word that comes to mind. (also i hope i didn't offend you saying "man" i call everyone that.)

[@garnetto1992]

[@garnetto1992]
