Lyrics

Chasing Birds

[Verse 1] Chasing birds to get high My head is in the clouds Chasing birds to get by I'm never comin' down My heart is six feet underground [Chorus] The road to Hell is paved with good intentions Dark inventions of mine The road to Hell is paved with broken parts Bleeding hearts like mine [Verse 2] Chasing birds through the sky And deep into the black Chasing birds, say goodbye I'm never comin' back Here comes another heart attack [Chorus] The road to Hell is paved with good intentions Dark inventions of mine The road to Hell is paved with broken parts Bleeding hearts like mine [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Chasing birds to get high I'm never comin' down My heart is six feet underground [Chorus] The road to Hell is paved with good intentions Dark inventions of mine The road to Hell is paved with broken parts Bleeding hearts like mine [Outro] Chasing birds Chasing birds Chasing birds Chasing birds Chasing birds Chasing birds
