Because

from Flybird by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

Take a sip of your drink,
And then let the words out.
It's not hard for me to think,
Of what it's all about.

You slip me the poison,
And then let me choke on the vaccine,
You've lead me to wander on,
And figure out what it all means.

Because that's how you do it,
Because that's how you do it to me,
Because that's how you do it,
Because that's how your cruel mind dreams,
Because that's how you use it,
Because that's how you use it on me,
Because that's how I love it,
Because that's how you put me to sleep.

Get me crying in you hallway,
And you'll have me at my best,
Because I'm happiest when you say,
Things that make me upset.

I guess I like to feel the fire,
I like feel the flames on my chest,
Emotions make my tired,
So a little pain feels so blessed.

Because that's how you do it,
Because that's how you do it to me,
Because that's how you do it,
Because that's how your cruel mind dreams,
Because that's how you use it,
Because that's how you use it on me,
Because that's how I love it,
Because that's how you put me to sleep.

I'm not saying you're the worst one,
That I've ever known.
I just bring out the worst gun,
Hidden in good peoples bones.

Because that's how I do it,
Because that's how you do it to me,
Because that's how I do it,
Because that's how my cruel mind dreams,
Because that's how I use it,
Because that's how you use it on me,
Because that's how I love it,
Because that's how you put me to sleep.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
