I learned something interesting about hummingbirds when we put out some feeders in our back yard. It turns out that they’re kind of super territorial little jerks. They’re pretty to look at though.

lyrics

Feel your path amoung the briar
Flit around
The distant seed of your desires
Darting in
But was it ever there?
Or just a scent left floating in the breeze?

Leave a mark, stake your claim
Build your nest
Or riot just to hide the shame
Humming bird
Your song hangs in the air
You faintly feel it tremble in the wind

Find your perch drink your fill
Not a drop left to fulfill
Didn’t mean to start a war
Did you think you needed more?
I just want you to know I did it for you

A taste of nectar so divine
More for me
Just stay on your side of the line
Keep them out
Enough to go around
But not enough to share it with a friend

Make you move while they’re away
Burn it down
Or save it for a rainy day
Take it out
On those you love the most
You only do what you must to survive
