An Only Child

The angels thought nothing of changing their plan
I am an only child with a stone in my hand
I remember my sister
And the humid air goes dry
And I am
I am afraid to die

Jesus felt nothing when he was breaking this heart
Cruel and unfeeling right from the start
I am an only child
That's all that I am
And the angels
The angels don't give a damn
I am afraid to die
A bird with no use for the sky

We open all the windows
But the damn thing can't get free
And I'm distracted by the motion
And this awful memory

There's a letter on the table
But I can never read a word
God damn, God damn that bird

I am afraid to die
I am afraid to die
I am afraid to die
I am afraid
