Lyrics
[Intro]
[Synth lead]
(The early bird catches the word!)
(The burning bird's ashes feed worms!)
[drum drop, epic]
[Verse]
When there are no more words (and dreams)
There are no more screams (no more screams)
When the worms will awake
who will watch what they take?
[Guitar lead]
[Pre-chorus]
Oh-woah, as the worm turns
Oh-woah, and the pages burn
[pause]
[Chorus]
(ooo, oooo) I've run out of books to read
I've bled all the colors to see
(ooo, oooo) Bred by the worms in my mind
born of the words in the spine
[Post-chorus]
[Synth lead]
(The early bird catches the word)
(The burning bird's ashes feed worms)
[Verse]
There aren't enough colors (I scream)
there aren't enough dreams (enough dreams)
When the worms spin yarns
do they use silk or stars?
[Guitar lead]
[Pre-chorus]
Oh-woah, as the worm turns
Oh-woah, and the pages burn
[drum fill]
[Chorus]
(ooo, oooo) I've run out of books to read
I've bled all the colors to see
(ooo, oooo) Bred by the worms in my mind
born of the words in the spine
[Post-chorus]
[Synth lead]
(The early bird catches the worm)

[Pre-chorus]
Oh-woah
Oh-woah
[record scratch]
[Chorus, diva solo, syncopated]
I've run out of books to read
I've bled all the colors to see
You're bred by the worms in my mind
all born of the words in the spine
