The Birdwatchers - Terminale Lyrics

This terminal's descending
Like it or not, take a trip through the fire
Second circle, the ending
Wind never stops for the lust and desire

And I never wanted to end up just settling
And I never wanted to end this experiment

Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing
Something that I likely should have learned
Be careful when you're handling this hot mess
Otherwise you're likely to be burned

Something to run from and something to hunt
Something to waste all of my time on
But I
Wanted to shout and wanted to explode
Wanted a structure to lighten the load

A carousel of falsehoods and truths
All spin around me and sing like a choir
Facts, figures, and follies of youth
There's no overstaying in the briars

And I never wanted to end up just settling
And I never wanted to end this experiment

Something the institution
Doubtfully wants to be
Whether it counts for something
That fact remains up to us to see

Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing
Something that I likely should have learned
Be careful when you're handling this hot mess
Otherwise you're likely to be burned
