Birdcage Lyrics

I'm the mortal coil wrapped around your finger at the end of every day.
Pushing daisies through your letterbox never helped me find a way.

You've given up on the things that you taught me to believe in.
I remember the look on your face when you told me you were leaving.

I'm a sinner.
Things are never gonna be the same.
You're my compass-spinner,
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage.

I'm the mortal wrapped around your finger at the end of every day.

I'll keep persisting like a stubborn weed through the debris, and grow.

I've given up on myself and the things that I believe in.
I remember the look on your face and I just couldn't believe it.

I'm a sinner.
Things are never gonna be the same.
You're my compass-spinner,
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage.

I set fire to everything you left.
I didn't think about the downsides in loving you to death.
Pushing daisies through your letterbox.
Trying to find all of the things I lost.
Taking time to try to write the wrongs.
Maybe there's nothing wrong with me.
