Birdless Cage Lyrics
Did you see the barren peaks; did you see the searing heat?
Did you see the bird-less cage that you have become?
Did you see servitude, did you see that shoulder-length hair
That lent all its radiance to somebody else?
You stormed out of who you were to follow her
Those moments you could not hold still held you
Your pretense
Your nightingale
You can't unveil what you are
Did you bear your innocence as sorely as I did my guilt?
Did you ever forgive yourself for shedding that pain?
Did you love her honestly, did you love her approximately?
Saying: oh, what a privilege to feel incomplete?
So what's this for?
You stormed out of who you were to follow her
Those moments you could not hold still held you
Your conscience
Your nightingale
You can't exhale yourself
If I've held out for you holding me sinfully
Was that sinful of me?
And if you want me to waste all your precious time
You can waste all of mine
And I won't lie anymore than you ask me to
I'm just asking for you
And I'll be fine if we never wake up from this
If we never wake up from this
Did you see the bird-less cage that you have become?
Did you see servitude, did you see that shoulder-length hair
That lent all its radiance to somebody else?
Those moments you could not hold still held you
Your nightingale
You can't unveil what you are
Did you ever forgive yourself for shedding that pain?
Did you love her honestly, did you love her approximately?
Saying: oh, what a privilege to feel incomplete?
Those moments you could not hold still held you
Your nightingale
You can't exhale yourself
Was that sinful of me?
You can waste all of mine
I'm just asking for you
If we never wake up from this
