Time is my friend til it ain't and runs out
And that is all that I have til it's gone
Try to build a home
Bones of birds singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey, sometimes she won't cry when the smallest one is drowned
Too weak to survive probably... maybe
Try to look out through a hole in a bag
Circle above looking down bird of prey
Try to build a home
Bones of birds singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey, sometimes she won't cry when the smallest one is drowned
Too weak to survive probably... maybe

Tried to build on bones of birds/Singing in the cold and fall to earth
“Bones of Birds” has the appeal of both SG’s past hits “Fell on Black Days” and “Black Hole Sun” combined. Its slow, melancholic odd-time grooves build over guitar harmonics and Cornell’s apathetically bleak lyrics, sung with a mix of his classic style and Alice In Chains harmonies below.
