There’s a canary in a birdcage
buried somewhere deep inside your head
and like me it’s suffocating quietly
if I could be the last to speak
I think I’d lose the crippling fucking weight
I hide inside of me
egos running wild
why don’t you tell me
where your eyes are looking now
it’s probably something I don’t want to know
anything about (x2)
I see eye to eye with enough people
so I don’t get why it seems so hard
to just get to the fucking point with me
I’m not wasting your time
why’s this wearing me down now
I’m just hoping I give it time and
they all forget my name
I swear to everything
this isn’t what you think
this is me forgetting things
when I hardly know myself
you know it gets hard to take a place
where everyone’s the same
egos running wild
why don’t you tell me
where your eyes are looking now
it’s probably something I don’t want to know
because it can’t hurt to just walk away
it sounded so much better in my head
it’s come to this
always counting steps
but not remembering where you’ve been
buried somewhere deep inside your head
and like me it’s suffocating quietly
if I could be the last to speak
I think I’d lose the crippling fucking weight
I hide inside of me
why don’t you tell me
where your eyes are looking now
it’s probably something I don’t want to know
anything about (x2)
so I don’t get why it seems so hard
to just get to the fucking point with me
I’m not wasting your time
why’s this wearing me down now
they all forget my name
I swear to everything
this isn’t what you think
when I hardly know myself
you know it gets hard to take a place
where everyone’s the same
why don’t you tell me
where your eyes are looking now
it’s probably something I don’t want to know
it sounded so much better in my head
it’s come to this
always counting steps
but not remembering where you’ve been
