Bluejay

Natasha Watts

Little birdy, little birdy

Open up those wings

Fly away from this ugly place

And get away from me

 

Little birdy, little birdy

How are you so sweet?

Caring, kind, and holding

You stay with me though your wings shine

Grounded by my heart

 

Little birdy, little birdy

You have another name

Often told it’s too absurd

To be used in everyday

 

Little birdy, little birdy

Let me whisper in your ear

A gorgeous name, or so I say

I speak of every fucking day

 

Little birdy, little birdy

Your use is one of many

Racing hearts, crashing cars

Anxiety is your name

 

Little birdy, little birdy

How I hate you so

You can save lives

You can prevent harm

Yet you feed on innocent hearts and souls

 

Little birdy, little birdy

I just want to let you go
