YCK - Birds in a Cage
00
Copied!
{verse 1}
I don't say "i love you" enough to the folks i love
Wishing that i was rid of this pushing will come to shove
It’s an undying multiplying internal secretion
In my body get me off this earth need permanent deletion
I may miss my cousin here but sometimes i can understand
Why she did what she did and was it predestined or planned
If i was in that room could i have fully prevented her
Or was it just bound to happen later as if she never learned
Your view is too obscured it's like you're looking through a fogged lens
Acting so irregular you’ll see me when i drop dead
In this age of needing instant gratification
Guess i'm going on living call that casket evasion
Indifferent insouciant tried at finding the beauty
But i'm surrounded by the sorrow wanna drown absolutely
Superficially weighted and judging all of my qualities
Not somebody to idolize pray for distance from polities
{chorus}
Conveniently placed on the outskirts of a city
Looking down upon those that you never seemed to pity
And so it goes you're pleading "no not this again"
But my oh my you're saving face with your will to spend
That's beside the point as long as that makes you happy
Who am i to argue bout what happenstances hand me
An anesthetic just to help turn the page
And you're so photogenic we're just birds in a cage
{verse 2}
I don’t say "i miss you" enough to a crowd i miss
Wishing i was above it i’m swallowed by the abyss
It's been ongoing locks open kicked me in the chest
Already been a year the pathways in my heart have been compressed
And i ain’t one for confessions but admitting's the first step
That we should have intervened you were always your worst threat
If things were that simple we'd have a chance to rekindle
There's no simplicity in losing you our family’s dwindled
Now that's quite bold of you thinking i'd handle
My condition but i think it's here i blow out the candles
It's impractical if i can't even feed from the oxygen
I'm the lightning in a bottle years ago that you caught me in
Gripping the placebos that i've become besotted with
When it's flaring up don't care enough i do not acknowledge it
I could always stop it but i'm putting it off
I try to fit into a world in where i couldn't belong
{chorus}
