lyrics

Oh my talking bird though you know so few words
They’re on infinite repeat like your brain can’t keep up with your beak
And you’re kept in an open cage and you’re free to leave or stay
But sometimes you get confused like there’s a hint that I’m trying to give you
And the longer you think the less you know what to do

It’s hard to see your way out when you live in a house in a house
‘Cause you don’t realize that the windows were open the whole time
but oh my talking bird though your feathers are tattered and furled
I’ll love you all your days ‘til the breath leaves your delicate frame
And it’s all here for you as long as you chose to stay
It’s all here for you as long as you don’t fly away
