I am a bird without wings, Let me fly. And I'm struggling to find my own song, Trying to figure it out with you, Oh you, You who I thought I could pour myself into like water into glass, actually exposing who I am, For I'm a locked box, unable to break out of my own cage, I was within and without, Looking inside hoping I would make up my own answers. or continue on some rhythm that would work. and I constantly pick and pull at the dry skin off my fingers, feeling the blood pour out, my nervousness exposed. Am I my nervousness, or is my nervousness just me, cause I'm fluttering around with broken pieces, barely sticking together so clean. And the people I thought I connected with leave, just go, and I'm left with my rips and tears, dealing with the agony of their disappearance. And I want it all to make sense but it doesn't
