The Canary Song

So we sat together and talked about raiding places for gum It wasn't what we talked about, it wasn't what we talked about Just trying to keep my cage open Reminding myself to keep my cage open Just trying to keep myself open And you're pulling and you're pushing Level it out and I soften, no And then your limbs give out and they let you down Then you open yourself to breathe What would it take for someone just to be nice We can't all be canaries So I glued the corners of the bag so it would stay together Then I told you that my buildings were burning when they weren't And I asked to leave early to care for the ones that didn't exist I'm keeping my cage closed Keeping my cage closed Keeping my cage closed Closed, closed, closed, closed And you're pulling and you're pushing And then you level it out and I soften No and then your limbs give out and they let you down Just trying to keep myself open now Keep me open Keep me open And you're pulling and you're pushing Level it out and I soften No and then your limbs give out and they let you down And they let you down And you're pulling and you're pushing Level it out and I soften No, no and then your limbs give out and they let you down Open yourself to breathe
