He wears his heart 
Safety-pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers 
Whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to
Save his life, he crawls 
Like a worm from a bird
(All alone) crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind the way pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Mid-day delusions are pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind
Out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to
Save his life, he crawls 
Like a worm (crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (crawls like a worm)

(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird 
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird 
(All alone) Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

All he knows
If he can't relieve it, 
It grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a...

Out of his mind the way pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to
Save his life, he crawls 
Like a worm from a bird

All alone he's holding his breath half to death
(Holding his breath half to death)
Terrified to
Save his life
He crawls like a worm (crawls like a worm)
Crawls like a worm from a bird
