I can't quite figure it out.
I left the cage behind
(don't trap a wild bird)
And yet
Here I am.
(suffocating)
Am I perched above?
Am I standing on thin ice?
(I can see it breaking it's breaking beneath my feet)
A step forward and the cracks splinter out through my future
If I stay here, am I safer?
(am I am I am I am I)

I SHOULD BE FINE!
(right?)

IT'S GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER!
(right?)

I'M HAPPY NOW!
(pleasepleasepleaseplease)

How long will it take for this poison to leave my system and let this body be mine again?
(the pressure pressure pressure)
Who made this mind too heavy for these bones?
(it hurts it hurts it hurts)
Who made this skin look thicker than it is?
(the memories memories memories)
Who left these shadows in my flesh?
(they hurt they hurt they hurt they HURT)
Who gave me these broken wings and told me to fly?
(I thought I could soar but I fell)
Who shoved me off this cliff?
(and now I'm drowning)
Will this temptation ever fade or is it simply another lure I must resist?
(don't give in not againnotagainnotagain)

I thought I was okay
(pleasepleasepleaseplease)
So why have I fallen through the ice to the depths below?
(the pressure it hurts thought I could fly now I'm drowning beneath these memories it hurtithurtsithurts)
And I still don't understand.
