lyrics

Little bird says stay away,
I just wanna feel safe in my little cage,
But the big old cat is tryin’ to tear me apart.
Just walk away from me, I swear I’ll never tell.
This secret, I will keep, until I’m dead and buried.
Thought you would make it,
So I placed it all on your shoulders.
Knew you couldn’t take it,
So I made an example out of you.
Little boy says come and play,
I just wanna feel safe in this strange place,
But the big old world is dyin’ to tear him apart.
Just walk away from me, I swear I’ll never tell.
This secret, I will keep, until I’m dead and buried.
Thought you would make it,
So I placed it all on your shoulders.
Knew you couldn’t take it,
So I made an example out of you.
Oh, we lost our mind, body, and souls.
Here we are again, hangin’ off a ledge,
With no regard for consequence.
We played this game for far too long,
Now we’re stuck.
Just walk away from me, I swear I’ll never tell.
This secret, I will keep, until I’m dead and buried.
Thought you would make it,
So I placed it all on your shoulders.
Knew you couldn’t take it,
So I made an example out of you.
Oh, we lost our mind, body, and souls.
