I'm a songbird, and I need to sing.
Don't take these words from me and leave me mute.
I'm a free bird, and I need to fly.
Don't clip my wings and tie me down.
I'm a love bird, and I need my heart.
Don't break it and take its beat.



I'm a bird trapped in a cage of ribs and my wings flutter like a heart.
I'm weighed down by layers of blankets like skin and they stop my song.
When butterflies like lips pass by and touch my window like face I feel like a feather that's lightheaded.
Crack the shell and let me fly away.



My feathers are faded and I need the light.
