Blood Red Bird Lyrics - Red Apple Falls - Smog

I was not woken by the rooster 

Nor by the crow's tough song 

But the midnight cry of a blood red bird 

Brought this sleeplessness on 

Threw open the window 

Moonlight on a black garden of thorns 

And the cool wind on my sweat 

What cries home 

Where cries from 

A blood red bird lies in the woods 

Weeping into dead leaves 

With wing torn and jutting bone 

What hand bent it to bust 

To be ueseless 

What hand I could have done it 

With two fingers 

A blood red bird 

A blood red bird 

We can continually sink into each other 

Just deep enough to rip out a bit more flesh 

When we move away 

A scarf of skin trailing out behind 

Like an arrow 

I was only passing through 

A blood red bird 

A blood red bird
