lyrics

Bird on a wire
Captured and tired
I need to sleep
Caught in the tide
Something inside
Making us mean

Enveloped by this beauty
Whispering words threaten to hurt us all in the end

Tell me something happy
Tell me something brutally unkind
Just make me believe it
If you don't know
I don't know

Somewhere we fell
So sick of ourselves
Poured gasoline
Gravity snapped
Blacked out the trap on
Cinema screen

The universe is curving
Ghosts of the past
Pick up the glass and try not to bleed

Tell me something happy
Tell me something brutally unkind
Just make me believe it
If you don't know
I don't know

Birds are caged
You're free
Don't think you need to stay if you can't breathe

Tell me something happy
Tell me something brutally unkind
Just make me believe it
Just let it die if you still want to save us
But if you don't know
I don't know
