free bird

from entropy by tony appleseed

lyrics

you were a dove, with a glass heart,
all locked up in a bird cage,
with the door left open,
and your wings unclipped.

I could've watched you fly away,
but you stayed in your cage,
not ready for the coming of age.

I should've watched the way
that you communicate
what you can't say.
I should've watched the way
that you procrastinate,
'cause love is just above
but you can't fly.

feathers drawn and out for display,
you like to see all the birds at play,
but then hide away when it's time to go.

finding solace in your confines,
the world is cold
and you'd rather stay behind;
"it's so safe here,
and they feed me!"

all the walls will fall
if you give them time.
the olive branch will break
and we will be left
with the choices we make,
so fly free.

I could've watched the way
that you communicate,
but I am deaf.
and I saw the way
that you procrastinate
so I flew away,
from you.
