On That Bird In The Cage

(album: Songs To Scream At The Sun - 2008)

My girl, my girl, tell me why you look so sad
Has the sun finally set on us?
Have you come to long for another's hand?
There's a feeling inside me that somethings leaving
Like someone stealing salt from sea
Left me sinking and left me thinking
How to keep you caged with me

Because I fucking need you
Like air to fucking breathe
Just to hold you
O' I hold you
O' how I hold you
I hold you down

Down with my insecurities
Down with my hypocrisy
Down with my pathetic pleas
Down instead of setting you free
To find your happiness with or without me

So untie your feat, reattach your wings
So you don't have to open your throat to sing

Because if it's you I love, then from you

I'd walk away

And your face
On every leaf
Of every branch
Of every tree
