[Lyric] Creature (A small bird)

[Verse]
I heard about twelve different definitions for a species by my senior year
Eight years after the sun’s ninth little boy demoted, though the people loved him dear
It’s simple til a liger and a lion have a little kid
Provided no one thinks to just avoid debate by quietly killing it

[Verse]
There’s a lot of not-inaccurate terms for what I am that people have on hand
But not a lot of overlap between the list and any terms that I can stand
The nеxt-door neighbors had this creeping plant that sprouted purple flowеrs
All around their house, and when they tore it down
I saved one in my desk, til it turned to dust
Inside the drawer

[Chorus]
I am just a creature
In need of comfort
And I don’t know anything else for sure
If you cannot reach her
Just leave her unhurt
And don’t reach ’til you know what you’re reaching for
[Verse]
I heard about twelve different definitions for a species before my senior year
Eight years after the sun’s ninth little boy demoted, though the people loved him dear
The length of time that people can ignore a liger’s kid
And the fact that words don’t change the way the Roman reaper’s planet spins
Is so, so long
Their need for comfort is so, so strong

[Chorus]
And really I am just a creature
In need of comfort
I don’t know anything else for sure
Call me a monster
Just grant me comfort
And not the comforts I’ve been signed up for
Cause comforts can curses too, for sure
