birdcage

I'm making my bed cause I can never leave I might as well enjoy this hell What is freedom when you're so alone What is joy if you have no one But I never realized no matter how hard we tried We were only building shackles of flowers I never realized no matter how much we cared Our beautiful nest was just another birdcage How quick am I to suffocate the fire In honor and favor of a greater power I know I'm selfish I know I'm unclean But I'd never touch what is sacred You are so quick to spit on the grave All you wanna hear is I never cared You'd like to think we're nothing alike We shared the same blood You gave me your life But I never realized no matter how hard we tried We were only building shackles of flowers I never realized no matter how much we cared Our beautiful nest was just another birdcage Bred from the same mould Born on the same stone Fed by the same hand And bled the same blood But I never realized no matter how hard we tried We were only building shackles of flowers I never realized no matter how much we cared Our beautiful nest was just another birdcage How quick am I to suffocate the fire In honor and favor of a greater power
