Your love was always yours to give
We'll start another war
But you always wondered perfectly
What you're living for
Your eyes have wept a thousand tears
You never needed mine
The crime is never what you steal
But what you leave behind
And maybe I'm too blind to see
The line was always crossing me
And maybe I'm too far to reach
But what's inside of you still same as me
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Your soul was only yours to keep
It's buried in me now
A bullet from the shell it leaves
It strips it to the ground
And maybe I'm too blind to see the fire is all that walks with me
And maybe I'm too starved and weak
What's inside of you still same as me
We'll start another war
But you always wondered perfectly
What you're living for
Your eyes have wept a thousand tears
You never needed mine
The crime is never what you steal
But what you leave behind
And maybe I'm too blind to see
The line was always crossing me
And maybe I'm too far to reach
But what's inside of you still same as me
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Sweet birds, in the cage
Your soul was only yours to keep
It's buried in me now
A bullet from the shell it leaves
It strips it to the ground
And maybe I'm too blind to see the fire is all that walks with me
And maybe I'm too starved and weak
What's inside of you still same as me
