Passerine Lyrics - The Oh Hellos

Like carillon bells, the house of Augustus rings 

With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine, they took to it 

Like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie 

And my god, it's getting hard to even hum a single thing 

You were the song that I'd always sing 

You were the light that the fire would bring 

But I can't shake this feeling that I was only 

Pushing the spear into your side again 

See, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like

My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline 

From throwing fuel to the fire of that Greco-Roman dream 

Purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seams 

It don't bring me relief, no it don't bring me nothing that 

You were the song that I'd always sing 

You were the light that the fire would bring 

But I can't shake this feeling that I was only 

Pushing the spear into your side again 

And again and again 

When he comes a knocking at my door 

What am I to do, What am I to do, oh lord 

When the cold wind rolls in form the north 

What am I to do, What am I to do, oh lord 

When he comes a knocking at my door 

What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord 

When the cold wind rolls in form the north 

What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord
