Dead Birds

Verse
You came through the door, same story again,
Mud on your shoes, chaos in your grin.
You think it's a joke, these little things you do,
But the cracks in the walls are all because of you.

Pre-Chorus
You say opposites attract, that’s the spark we had,
But now the flame’s gone cold, and it’s just sad.
You brought me dead birds, not flowers in bloom,
Dropped them at my feet, filled the room with gloom.

Chorus
You don’t bring me flowers, just wreckage and rain,
Throwin' me your dead birds and I just feel the pain.
Familiarity breeds contempt, it’s hard to pretend,
This cycle we’re stuck in—when will it end?

Verse
Your gestures of love are a hurricane’s breath,
A storm that leaves me picking up what’s left.
I’m not impressed by the mess that you’ve made,
This house of ours feels like it’s starting to fade.

Pre-Chorus
You think it’s endearing, but it’s wearing me thin,
Every time you smile, I see where we’ve been.
You brought me dead birds, and called it romance,
But the love I once felt doesn’t stand a chance.

Chorus
You don’t bring me flowers, just wreckage and rain,
Throwin' me your dead birds and I just feel the pain.
Familiarity breeds contempt, it’s hard to pretend,
This cycle we’re stuck in—when will it end?

Bridge (spoken/rap)
I’m suffocating in the shadow of us,
The trust we built has turned to dust.
Every gesture misplaced, every word misheard,
Every dead bird’s just another absurd
Excuse to pretend this chaos is care,
But the weight of it all is too much to bear.
Familiarity’s poison, it’s seeping in deep,
Turning love to contempt, promises we couldn’t keep.

Chorus
You don’t bring me flowers, just wreckage and rain,
Throwin' me your dead birds and I just feel the pain.
Familiarity breeds contempt, it’s hard to pretend,
This cycle we’re stuck in—when will it end?

Outro
No flowers, no beauty, just darkness you bring,
No harmony left in the song that we sing.
Opposites attract, but that spark burned out,
Now it’s just dead birds and a world full of doubt.
