I ham her favorite tune but still she won’t let me free.
I sing for her to smile but deep down, it’s a plea.
A plea for freedom.
Freedom from this dark cage.
My wings are so itchy so eager to fly.
I wonder how flying beneath the moon light feels.
But she won’t let me out of this cage.
The torment am in is like hell fire.
If only I was human then she would understand my words.
Only then would she understand my pain,
And not hear my sweet morning melodies.
If only she knew I sung a broken song?
But who will hear the plea of the black bird.
She doesn’t know how this cage makes me sad.
I look straight at her eyes and she thinks am charming.
My tears drop at each melody of the broken singing.
When I die It would be better she buries me than eat my meat,
For it will be the sweet poison that she will eat.
I just want to touch the sunrays.
How will she know that sadness is my best friend and
Happiness is my biggest act.
Someone tell her that I the black bird am asking for my freedom.

Hello happiness my old friend,
I have come to talk to you again.
Because my heart cries without tears in pain.
It seems you left when I was deep in love.
Now my heart stretch’s to find you.
My heart creeps to become one again
The love planted in my brain left my heart in tears.
I cry due to the words of her mouth.
Yet smile remembering the kisses of her lips.
Even though I smile my heart cries without tears.
Pain, like rain drops, spills inside me.
For love I write songs that voices never hear.
Now I bow and pray, never to find love in my way.
Restlessly my heart walks away.
It walks away to find you, happiness.
To fill the hole and become whole.
For my heart is split like the glow of neon light.
For my heart cries without tears.
BLACKBIRD™
