Lyrics for Dead Birds

Early returns in, read 'em and weep Fire burn n' leap in the street Wave heat, the wave's 30 feet The meek inherit a softly rotted peach The shepherd's sheep dead, sign said, "Don't eat the meat Men are beasts" You'll see it now, you'll hear the shrieks Don't ask what, just put it in the grease Sow as you reap, golden goose comfit Eat your gun, gunshot residue on your teeth Color the sun like blood when it's deep Gunshot, tryna find the fuckin' leak You know, you know you done fucked up, though, right? You know you done fucked up, man You know, you know you done fucked up, right? You fucked up Bread cast on water come back poisoned Film line, the pot you boil water in Spoiled meat dipped in bleach, old oil drums, the snake coiled in Once the goyim go in, it's microwave with the foil in Particulate matter stain the skin Right where it meets the respirator mask rim, this original sin Nowadays, he starts every book at the end That is mine That is mine That is mine That is mine
