Owen - Brown Hair In A Bird's Nest lyrics

Brown hair in a bird's nest, a pile of teeth under a tree The frayed sleeves of a poorly tailored jacket Another wasted night searching for life Digging up graves 'cause I've got something to say to the dead and buried You know how my mind, it drifts A small boat lost at sea, callow and rudderless to say the least I swear on my mother's gravy that I didn't lie to you I was only as usual confused It was wrong of me to curse your family's name And your faith and an answering machine That I knew it didn't know how to use For how long must I lie awake? For how many long nights shall I keep digging up graves? I swear on my mother's gravy that I didn't lie to you I just didn't tell the truth
